Try x-raying the 500 from underneath.

Better yet, sprinkle some radioactive Cobalt-60 dust in there and shake it around and then use a Gamma camera to see what it says!

Good idea! The software can then look inside at the revision silk screened on the board to see if an ACA500 will work!

Hmmmmm, I don't know * tug on his chin * why do I sense a sarcasm there? * shrugs * Yeah, I say we should write such software! :lol:
