Alternative Solder Points

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 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!!!!!
