Patch work on a1k WCS board

[koaftder]

I recently acquired an a1k off ebay and I found this patch work on the WCS board. I have never seen this done any any other a1k, what is it for? The main board is Rev A. Though the case doesn't look any better than the others I have, this is absolutely the cleanest A1k I've ever seen and the floppy drive doesn't even make any noise and it doesn't give me random read errors. It was a pleasant surprise to find an accelerator in there, I was not expecting that.

Also, does anybody have information on the grounding fix for the WCS board? Is it necessary on my rev 3 WCS? I can't find any information on that issue.

It's the daughter board on the a1000.

Just search the web for PAL+grounding+amiga and you'll find a bunch of sites describing the grounding.  

What accelerator did it come with?

Thanks for the tip, I found lots of places describing that fix. It looks like the wires in the picture are that fix, but it's missing the path to ground and some of the wires seem in the wrong place. It's like they just tied the ground together at the chips in two sets and I think the other wires tie the vcc together, I'll have to get a pinout of that chip.

The accelerator is an IDC Adspeed. I haven't noticed the difference in the few apps i've tested it with, but sysinfo defiantly shows improvement when it's switched on.
