Speaking of the CPU VRMs, I took some pics of it to post in another thread, I'll add them here for reference as well.
Mine are Delta based.

Is this VRM supplying both CPUs or it's one supplied directly from the motherboard and the VRM only used when running dual CPUs?

Sorry for slow reply. From what I can tell, this supplies both CPUs and there's no way to start the board without it.

Hey guys

I recently acquired this OR840 Engineering Sample System in Adelaide, Australia. My friend saved it from the crusher!

I hope to find what original expansion cards & hdd it had. PSU will need recapping as its shot.

The attachment biosver.jpeg is no longer available

I can confirm only 128MB or less PC600 RIMMS work! Memory beep with anything larger or faster...

I can post more below if people are interested. I dont want to hijack silvercrs thread though!

Yooooo, good to see you! Hijack? Show us more!

Can you please try to back-up the original BIOS? I dont think we have many versions archived.

Here is the bios from my AA 750701-603 engineering sample. I had to use Universal Bios Backup Toolkit 2.0 to save it. I have also contacted retro web to upload it.
