I have bought a defective blueangel to harvest the memory chips, as I couldn't find a place to only buy two of them and now my uni is disassembled ready to go in along with the blueangel motherboard for the transplant. I have read the instructions in the wiki several times but the three photos are not the same. In the first photo which also displays the pins that should connected, the ram modules are not on positioned at the same place as the other two which show the motherboard on the workstation. My question is, there appear to be at least two varieties of uni motherboards. Are the pins the should be shorted the same?

Edit: My bad, the motherboard is the same, just the ram chips are not displayed in the first photo, at least not where they really are.

I wrote the 128mb upgrade page, if there is anything you need to know let me know, PM might be quicker.

The first picture is of a bare Uni PCB with 2 zooms showing where the shorting link is. The shorting link goes between the 2 square pads on the motherboard at the end of the row of 4 little brown blocks, ignore the round pads they are test points.

The other 2 pictures are of the Uni PCB with chips being soldered in to place all Uni's have the same motherboard.

Thanks for the reply, that was another point I wasn't sure about. Now it's all clear.
