A500 Revisions

[BenShep]

I've just been opening the A500s I have to see which one is the best revision.  Most are Rev 6A with a few earlier.  One however is a Rev 7 and has a 8371 rather than the 8372A that all the Rev 6A's had.

Is there any advantage in using a Rev 7?  I guess I could perform the Agnus upgrade proceedure if there is a benefit.

Ha.. no just had 7 I'd accumulated over time and had never cracked them open.  They're not even in that great condition (yes they're all PAL - I'm from Australia).

The only reason I can think of a rev 7 having an earlier agnus is a deliberate downgrade (which makes me think there must be something wrong with it for them to do that).  Guess I'll put it off to one side until I can fully test it (it boots - that's as far as I've got).

I guess not.. it quite distinctly says rev 7 on the motherboard.
