High performance processor card

Final question (I hope) on this thread.

How would I tell if a 8600/9600 had the Kansas board? Part number, serial number, obvious physical difference??

actually the Mach-V 604 was only available in 300 and 350MHz variants, everything else was just 604e's, and should be usable in the 85/9500's.
also, iirc the 86/9600's have essentially the same motherboard as the 85/9500's. i'm unaware of any specific differences.

Not true. The 8600/250 is a Mach V/Kansas machine. I have the CPU card in front of me now.

ah well then i stand corrected.

If you have an 8600/9600 and the speed rating is 250, 300, or 350mhz then it is a Mach V/Kansas machine. The CPU module will have the words High Performance Processor Card Model 1100 written across the top and the 4 identifier pads (250, 300, 350, 400 but the 400 was never used). The motherboard will have the letters KAN on it someplace. There are other ways, I'm sure, but I always go for the obvious.

Great! That sounds pretty simple. Thanks for the help.
