well I've got all necessary parts to do the upgrade but this 040 board doesn't look like the others?? it's got the mach131 but where do i put the 060 Rom I have as it's a full sized chip? no markings at all on the board so wondering if it's actually not an Apollo board??


Answer is YES:

And I think you don't need 060 EPROM as 060 code is in the EPROM already.
At least it was in my case.

Why better ??

1) 64MB RAM support out of the box in desktop version
2) No MACH sockets - no risk of bad contact/bending sockets
3) Coin type battery instead of accumulator - no risk of acid spill
