can someone confirm if this Apollo 040 is upgradable to 060

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??

Ah ok thanks to Drewlio over at aw.net's fast response I found out I've got a newer model Viper 1240 made by ACT in Germany back in 2003. Bit of research tells me these cards do not have inherent problems with the mach131 chips and memory access problems the Apollo boards had and can be expanded to 64mb per sim unlike the Apollo boards which maxed out at 32Mb per SIMM.

But the question is can I upgrade it to an 060 as There was also a Viper060 produced the same time that looks like the same card ?? Hmmm
