- If I remember right, the 3.0 to 3.1 modification of the A3640 boards involved
- cutting one of pins on a chip in the 3640, as well as replacing one of the
- PAL's. Cutting the pin wouldn't be bad, but getting the updated PAL might
- prove to be difficult. And you need both items done before the 4091 will work
- properly. I know as I went through hell trying to get that stupid board to
- work. Probably your best bet would be to get a 3.1 that someone is dumping cuz
- they bought an accelerator, or dumping your 3.0 A3640/4091 and going with a
- WarpEngine.
