Does anyone have some high-resolution photos/scans of a PowerMac 9500 logic board?

Hi all,

The SuperMac S900 is based on the Power Macintosh 9500 and I would like to assess how feasibly a 9500's board could be used as a donor for an S900's. Since I do not own a 9500 I will need access to some images of someone else's logic board in order to compare the various chips on their logic boards. Sadly the available images on search engines are not high enough quality.

My request is simple: if you happen to have photos or a scan of a PM 9500 logic board then I would hugely appreciate a copy of them so I can get this work done! Alternatively, if you own a 9500 and don't mind taking the plunge of disassembling it to take some photos of the logic board I would be extremely grateful. All I need are the names of those pesky proprietary chips...

Side quest: if anyone happens to know the difference between revision A and revision B 9500 boards I would also love to know!

Many thanks in advance.

I have one I can do this on, I've no idea the rev I'll have to take it apart. If your not in a huge hurry on it, definetly bump me on this if I don't get back to you.

It might be a bit before I could do this in detail, but I do happen to have a 9500 board on one of the panels of my PCB wall (don’t worry, they are mounted with magnetic standoffs to ensure no damage to the boards!)

How close are you looking for? Like macro lens, or is the iPhone photo here “good enough”? I’m quite curious myself what some of the ASICs are, and searched the web about this just today, which miraculously is how I found this thread by chance!

On the off chance that these are good enough, here you go — would be awesome for the community to get even better ones, though.
