My "new" logic board & PSU arrived, yesterday, from NexComp. I still need to order new PRAM battery & system CD (gave my ONLY copy of OS 9.1 to a good family friend, along with my late mom's Performa 6360 & 15AV monitor), but I've also realized that I have no clue as to which ROM is on my "new" logic board. I know my dead logic board is Rev. B, as it came from my AIO G3 with the dead PSU, but it's entirely possible that my "new" one could be Rev. A. No biggie, there, since I obviously (possibly if it's not damaged, as well) have a ROM upgrade available.

Is there any way to check which ROM is on the "new" logic board before I do the swap, or will I have to wait until I can get the Mac going again, and look in "System Profiler?"

Matt

Rev. 1 :: Rage IIc GPU, no support for IDE slave, and usually sports a 233-266mhz
$77D.40F2


Rev. 2 :: Rage Pro GPU, support for IDE slave, and usually 300-333mhz
$77D.45F1

Something else to note is that all Beige AIO units and almost all Desktop 300-333mhz units were Revision 2 logic boards.


Oh yeah, to answer your question, to be safe I would install 9.1 atleast and check the profiler.

So there's no way to tell which ROM my "new" board has, until I can look with System Profiler, huh?

Thanks for the information, as well! Can ya tell I've been away from being a Mac user, for a "little" bit?

All you have to do is look at the GPU on the logic board itself. Like whitlock said, if it has a Rage IIc it is a rev. A ROM. If it has a Rage Pro, it is not.

Check the picture, the outlined chip is the one you need to look at.

Sorry for the double post, for some reason it wouldn't let me attach the image when i edited the last post.
