John - the new board is older than your old board, but it is a fully 
functional board, boards before 010-0052-01 did not have functional 
printer ports using the enhanced mode, and may also have had the keyboard 
beep problem that identified the older boards also.

Your board is two rev's (-03C) above mine. Since it's the same flavor as 
my board, I would assume that it does not support EDO, the cache would be 
fine, no parity, and that it will not work correctly even with a 100mhz 
chip in it. My board will almost function correctly with the 100mhz intel 
chip in it (I only bought the P90, friend loaned me a P100), my tape 
drive bombs out after saving 4 meg (floppy based Conner TS850) every time 
when it's set to 100mhz with a 100mhz chip in it.

later....
