1932.0. "Powerstorm 4d60->4d50" by NNTPD::"[email protected]" (Bernard Chitty) Mon Apr 21 1997 13:04

Hi,

I was given a tip that a Powerstorm 4D60t can be converted to a 4D50t by
either
some physical setting on the card or by plugging out something from the card. 

The Tech guy before me knew how to do this, and I feel I must keep the 
tradition alive.

Does anybody know how to do this?

Rgds,
Bernard

I don't think you can do this.  The 4D60T has more chips on the board, fans
and a plastic cooling shroud.  

Why do you want to do this?

I know how it sounds, but I work in a pre-sales dept and often we need to
setup systems for benchmarks, tenders, etc. On occasion we wld need a 4D50T
but have only 4D60T in stk, so a flexibility measure wld be to have one card
that can be 2 models as and when necessary. I only thought of this when
someone told it had been done before - but that guy left Digital. I wonder if
this is a myth.
