You learn something new every day ;-) However -- We pressured Digital into giving us motherboard upgrades for our old buggy machines (we had a performance clause in our purchase order). We actually received a rather polished "upgrade kit" complete with documentation on how to do the board swap, so I have a feeling that a fairly substantial number of machines were upgraded. If this is the case, a machine may have a "bad" part number, but may really have newer guts. > > The earlier miatas have a horribly buggy pci chipset which cannot do > > Is that an early Pyxis chipset? Yes.
