They removed the third (bios) socket, which was functionally unused in Revs
C-E, and was actually left empty in D and E, when they redid the circuit
board layout.  Ever since Rev C, the bios and firmware were contained
within the odd/even firmware pair, so there wasn't any need to keep the
third socket.
