ga-6vtxd addanisatome

[kc8adu]

i have this nice free duallie complete with 2x 1.4 cpu's anda gig of ram.
i recapped it and the only box i wanted to upgrade with it needs 1 isa slot.
this board has a place for one but they couldnt be bothered to install it at the factory.i cleared the holes and installed one.
works fine.so i now may have the only 6vtxd with an isa slot for whatever thats worth.

surprised it worked... and wasn't missing bypass caps, bridge parts, or something else useful.

Re: ga-6vtxd addanisatome

i looked for that too.guess even though they didnt install the slot it was too much work to delete the other parts.this would require reprogramming of the pick and place machine.
all the caps ect were there.i could add the uprated sound stuff too by adding a few chips.

Re: ga-6vtxd addanisatome

i have done 3 of these now and 1 didnt work.turns out the crap psu(powmax) did not have -5.
btw these boards have to be recapped and adding the isa slot takes an extra 10 minutes tops.
