As for fitting a replacement, there are much better things to spend your time and effort on IMO.
Like - Checking to see if you have any Zip RAM and upgrading to 16Mbytes FAST RAM.
- Checking to see if you have all the latest chips: Buster -11, DMAC -04 & Ramsey -07, SCSI -08 and KS3.1
- Buying & fitting a SCSI->IDE adapter
- Buying & fitting an IDE->CF adapter in the spare floppy bay. Makes it so easy to exchange files with the PC

1) nothing in the DIP fast ram slots, there were 16 little block things in the ZIP ram slots though
2) MB B2 RV. 9/03 Kickstart 40.68
390539-07 71- Super Buster
390537-02 81- Super DMAC
390541-04 51- Ramsey
2 SCSI chips top one - 8520a -1
lower one - 2491 24
3) i'm intrested in the CF route and there is a slot in the daughter board so the panel one will work but there are not enough power connectors since the cf slot and the scsi > IDE adaptor need power
of course its all moot now because after putting the beast back together it won't power up correctly, as in i get a black screen. i swear that was one of the most frusterateing things i ever took apart and had to put back together. now i'm dreading takeing apart again to figure out why its not doing anything now.
