IMPORTANT

1. The motherboard described in this document is the

first motherboard, the 16KB-64KB one.

2. If the BIOS on the 16KB-64KB motherboard has

been upgraded to the third revision one, then the

switch settings shown for SW2 (“switch 2”) on the

motherboard no longer apply.

The BIOS revision can be determined by examination

of the seven digit number on motherboard chip U33.

First revision: 5700051

Second revision: 5700671

Third revision: 1501476
