Rev 3 board?
It would be cool if I actually knew what the exact culprit was all along. Sockets everywhere and I did push out some of the connection pins on the VIA sockets then cleaned it again. Switched it on last night expecting the simasimac I've seen forever and it chimed...I stared at it in disbelief as the cursor showed up and then the question mark disk.
Also, I put in several new chips (including the GLUE) from a IICX board. I removed them by using enough heat to remove as much solder as possible with wick then I literally pried them off the board by sticking an angled tweezer under a corner and carefully ripping them up off the board (applying light pressure on top of the chip). Barbaric and controversial but I took about ten chips off the board this way and damaged zero pins. Just lifted some pads. Either way the chips were cleaned up and exposed to very little heat in the process. I've found the bigger chips on old boards extremely hard to remove with hot air. Maybe they used lead-free solder as well.
So all or some of those things made the difference. Not sure which.

Not sure. It's one of the boards Colin got in the group buy.
Yes, thought so - Its a Rev 3.
If you have any graphical anomalies you’ll need to do the bodge wire across the PAL chips.
Right. I've heard that but so far so good.
