with a ribbon
cable doing the cpu/memory interconnect while
the later ones
used the zero-force type white socket blocks found on the likes of the
HSD/HSZ RAID controllers and Alpha 1200 CPU modules.
Are you sure about that? I thouht the only difference was that
more wires were connected on the later backplane. You were
supposed to be able to use anything (including a KA670) in
the later backplanes but only a KA670 in the earlier one. If the difference was physically obvious, why rely on
telling
people the serial number range to distinguish one from another
when simply looking would have done?
because end users weren't allowed to pull their machines apart to check?
