The main difference is that when you turn mine on there's this annoyingly loud and high-pitched buzz that is constantly being spewed. Luckily for Apple they fixed that particular bug before they shipped. It also has a multi-chip ROM board that plugs into one of the ROM sockets, as opposed to a single ROM in the production model. When it boots up, it says "Apple BL" on the top line. The silkscreen markings on the motherboard are different than a production //gs. There's no copyright for instance (I think). It also came in a //e case (originally, when I got it it had been transferred to a //gs case). If you want I can go look at mine again and write down a comparison chart Sam Alternate e-mail: dastar(a)siconic.com ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Ever onward.
