Untested as in untested. I haven't got the time to test them, nor do I want to remove chips from my working setups in order to test a board that I'm not going to use myself.

I was told by the person I got them from that one of them was working, but I don't know which one of them.

People can make their own assumptions; the item description tells everything that is needed to know IMHO.

I know it would benefit me if I tested them, but I have to many computers standing around here that also needs my attention.

The motherboards up for sale is the only ones with missing chips, so I would have to strip a tower and motherboard in order to test them. I honestly don't think it's worth the effort.

No, it is not any of those motherboards. The motherboards in that post has been repaired at amiga.fr, but he didn't fix my clock problem on any of the boards. When I asked him why the clock wasn't running on anyone, he told me that I had to send them back, but still pay for the repair, even though it was pointed out to him the first time he had the boards, that this was a problem he also had to take care of for me.

These boards is going to have a SMD chip exchanged by a guy I have gotten in contact with via a danish Amiga site. The chips that is going to be replaced is on its way from Castellen this very moment, so I guess he can confirm this if he logs in in the near future.
