they look exactly the same so only swap if you want to fix one that's dead. you'll have to swap the mobo drawer faces, IIRC

some others like the 6290 will give you a 100 MHz machine, but i wouldn't spend any money for it if i were you. does that help, i really didn't know why you were asking so i don't know if it answers your question.

Bah, they do. I was under the mistaken impression that the 6220 was better, so I was going to stick it into the 5215 which is a gigantic ugly all-in-one. The reason for that being, I don't have a monitor for the 6220, which is not. Also I'm bored. But seeing as it would be a pretty pointless exercise, I'll have to find something else to keep myself occupied.

Thanks for the quick response!

does anybody know if the 15" monitors in the 5xxx POS roadapples is fixed frequency? using the 6220's more flexible video out might be worthwhile to try out of boredom if there's any chance it's a multisync!

640 x 480 is only bearable for watching TV!

Well bleh. Very interesting; I hadn't seen it. I'm ashamed to say, I used that 5215 as my only comp for about four years! But back then all I did was word processing; I didn't even have internet access. That was before I aspired to becoming a l33t hardware hacker.

As a testament to my l33t skills, both boards seem not to be working right now; or else something else is wrong in the 5215. I had it working, with the original board, a couple weeks ago; the 6220 has never worked since I got it (which I assumed was cause of a dead battery, like the Quadra* I got at the same time). So I took the battery off the 5215 board, put it on the 6220 board and put it in the 5215. Nothing. Maybe the board is dead. Took it back out, put the battery back on the original board, put it in. Nothing. Argh!

I'm too sleepy to mess around with this any more tonight, but If anyone has any suggestions they'd be welcome. I was hoping to give one of them to an aspiring young hacker (9yo) and fool around with the tv card on the other one, so while I hardly need either, in a perfect world I'd love to have both working.

lemme guess, power switch snafu on the AIO? don't worry about looking stupid until you go to save a file for sneakernet and press the floppy eject button on a 610 by mistake! :rolleyes:
