That's good news, because I have a few CPU boards I'd like to upgrade... so,
modern equivalent blanks are available? I haven't ripped labels off of any
of them to see what they really are.

LOL! Sure, just curious. I want to confirm my suspicions that this '89 I'm
using has been upgraded to the equivalent of your '90, but I'll take it on
faith. If I can get that soft-sectored controller going, then it's
equivalent enough for me. But hey, wasn't this the thread where two days
ago, everyone was talking about how easy it was to open cases and build
cables? ;-)
