- What version is the board that you have? It sounds to me like a misplaced
- chip that was left on at the factory if it is soldered to the "edge of the
- circuit board where you describe. Unless you are talking about a very old
- version of the 64 motherboard.

- Ohh, and I have a saying. If it works don't mess with it. :)
