  I had a peek inside a rev. 6.x motherboard at a trade show recently.
What I thought I saw (dimly lit room ;-) was a whole new motherboard,
relaid out from the 4.x motherboards.  I even thought I saw that the 
memory section was using 1Mx4 DRAMS instead of the 256Kx1 DRAMS used
in my rev. 4.3 board.
  If this is the case, getting your 4.x board to a 6.x board would
be a board swap, not just adding a few cuts and jumpers.

  Maybe Dave could comment on if the board was indeed relaid out.

  Personally, I'm waiting for the 68030 motherboard swap. ;-) ;-) ;-)
