Need Diamond Monster II 12M help please

by Trey Jone » Thu, 03 Dec 1998 04:00:00

I have a BIG favor to ask from the list.  I am in the process of converting
my 8M Monster II to a 12M Monster II.  I need some kind person who owns a
Monster II 12M to look at the front side of thier card and tell me which
resistors are NOT installed.  There should be 5 or 10 on the front of the
card on the end away from the metal bracket which are empty pads without
resistors installed.  I believe that the resistors are strappping resistors
which tell the card How much memory is installed and other options.  I have
populated all memory pads but I think I need to change the config resistors
to make the card think it is a 12M card.

PS the 8 M printed circuit board has a part number silk screened (not the
sticker) on the back side of 22150105-005.  I am betting that the 12M uses
the same printed circuit board but populates all of the memory pads and
changes a couple of resistors

Sounds interesting.  Please let us know how it works out.
