So wich one is better?
Before someone starts typping I know the differences: HERE Generally more costy versions of computers were made with higher quality components. Was this true in this case? Are there any known issues ? Please not that there seemed to also be a RevD version with an 040. Must be rare. |

The only downside to a Rev D 4000cr would be that the chip RAM is soldered to the motherboard, if it ever failed you'd have to desolder it and resolder new chips instead of simply swapping a new SIMM.
But other than that it is, in my opinion, the best 4000 motherboard.

A crappy fact about revision B motherboards is that they come with
weak simm slots. They are made of plastic, entirely. If you are not careful when inserting/removing simms, you could easily damage a slot by breaking off some plastic. Later revisions of A4000 motherboards I think came with better slots, which looked something like what you would find on most of the popular accelerator cards. A steady hand could easily desolder the old crappy simm slots and replace with the new (better) ones, according to my ex Amiga technician friend, however I would not have the balls to venture into something like that. :-) |
