See reader questions & answers on this topic! - Help others by sharing your knowledge [Courtesy of Thad Floryan:] The board "schematic" number (in copper) near the left rear corner is quite useful when referencing one of the three sets of schematics in the Reference Manual. Often the copper number is obscured by a white sticker bearing a different number. BOTH sets of numbers "almost" uniquely identify your machine. Peel the white sticker off and reapply it flanking the copper number. The copper board number will (usually) be one of 60-00222-00, 60-00225-00 or 60-00230-00. If yours is 60-00216-00 you have my sympathy (the connector to the floppy drive may be pin-for-pin reversed from that found on all other motherboards, and you probably have the daughterboard above the motherboard). The white paper sticker will bear a printed number something like "60-00237". The OTHER "number" to write down for future reference is the "REV.n" value on the white sticker normally found near the volume control sliding pot; this will be something like "REV.C", "REV.F", "REV.J", etc. The combination of the two sets of reference designators seems to uniquely identify all 3B1 systems I've seen. And note that a "REV.C" on a "225" board is NOT the same as a "REV.C" on a "230" board. And, before you ask, I have NOT been able to determine precisely what each "REV.n" represents and I doubt that information still exists even at CT (now UNISYS/NCG).
