Alternative Solder Points

[kooldraco]

For all the people who have seen the installation diagrams for a Magic3 on a V3 (GH-006) machine all the Bios connections are on VIAs to the right of the Bios chip. I know you can still use the Bios chips legs (which are more reliable) I just don't know which are which. This (http://www.geocities.com/apple_chip88/us/gh006_020.html) link shows an installation for the apple chip, but they use numbers instead of letters, just by looking at the layout of the picture you can guess that 21=M, 20=N, 19=O, 18=P and on the bottom 13=R, 14=V, 15=U, 16=T and 17=Q, but this is just a guess does anyone know for sure? All help would be appreciated. Thanks.

This might sound a bit obvious but if u use a continuity tester u can check that these connections are correct for sure.

Also the BIOS legs are ok to solder to. The only chip where it gets too small is the CD/DVD controller chip.

Easiest answer, persevere with Bios legs as the wires will almost certainly be shorter and hence more effective.

Good luck!!!!!
