Were there ever any problems with compatibility among daughtercards for Mach 5 motherboards? The reason I ask is that I'd (eventually) like to offer up the original 300MHz daughtercard that came with my 9600. However, I recall "reading somewhere" that there were two versions of the Mach 5 mobo. The daughtercards that originally went with each respective mobo were, supposedly, not interchangeable and installing an "A" daughtercard into a "B" mobo would lead to crashes. Can anyone clarify this? The reason I ask is so that if I offer the card, the buyer (assuming there *is* still a market for such a card...) and I don't end up spending time on a card that won't work on their machine after testing out fine in my own.
