I've just removed the DMAC and ripped the socket off my spare, defect mainboard and come to the following conclusion:

Confirming Twanger that
DMAC 71 CONFIGOUT is only connected to Diagnostic 5
DMAC 72 CONFIGIN: The trace disappears behind the diagnostic connector, so I assume that it's connected to Diagnostic 6 as stated in other sources. It goes nowhere else.

The weird thing however:
Diagnostic pin 6 is grounded (confirming other sources) via a trace on the back of the mainboard
And also Diagnostic pin 5 IS ALSO GROUNDED via a direct trace to pin 1. Can someone confirm this with a multimeter or something ???

I can make a picture of the traces if someone is interested, but I'll have to wait for my girlfriend to come home with the digital camera.

So do we have to cut one of the traces that ground Diagnostic 5 or 6 to make this work ????
