@ unity, ok i took the board out and counted it, i have the 132 pins or a 13x13 row setup.  I doubled checked and they are soldered through.  One thing though, if this originally is a hmmu setup, then i guess since the other smd cap board is waiting for a recap, couldnt i just take its gold capped pmmu module out and use it for this board to give it that upgrade?  Im assuming the black one is the hmmu and the motorola one with the gold square on the other is the pmmu type?  Finally, as for the superdrive, I guess on the rom issue I wont find that out unless i get an os on it, hence making a set of sys 7 disks on hd disks, and booting from it right?  I mean if it doesnt boot of a hd diskette but a 720k one then i only have the original roms right, the ones for the 800k drives?

Thanks
