Odd motherboard or not?

[Curlypaul]

So unless I'm missing some details, but I seem to have an early motherboard without the white resistors above the gatearray.

I don't seem to have a pic of the gatearray, it was 40007 with no revision numbers. Apart from the resistors, it seems an identical pop to the ones on the wiki already, but is it worth me adding it to the page for the sake of completeness?

Well, that's certainly interesting! 

On boards with slots for both old and new gate arrays, the white resistors are present only when the old GAs are installed, not the new ones.

In theory, yours should have those white resistors too.

Could you lift the heatsink and take a peek at which GA is installed and if resistors are fitted but without the white cover? 

It would also be nice to have a picture of the solder side to check for mods or service.

Cheers,
Rob

I thought I took one, but obviously didn't, but it's a plain 40007 with no revisions. I'll get a pick tomorrow, and of the underside.

As I saw it, it matched the first production board listed in the wiki, sans the white resistor tube things.

I've not owned this since new, but it was an attic find listed on ebay I nabbed. Judging by the screw heads and the filth in here when I got it, plus the seller being unaware of what an fd1/ddi sell for, lead me to believe it I'd factory.

More pics to follow then!
