The picture linked above is a little high in contrast so it's hard to tell but might those empty spots be corresponding to capacitors on the adjacent used SATA spots? Further, if you can trace these data lines to the chipset, are there unused surface mount pads adjacent to it? I must be blind, upon looking at the picture again obviously what I was thinking of is supposed to be capacitors as marked with the C(nnn) silkscreening but now I wonder if you were looking at the resistor, R(nn) silkscreened positions above the SATA port in the pictures. They don't seem to be for SATA? Ever thought about tracing the local circuitry with a DVM? D'OH! Actually, I did trace the circuit and also reported what I measured in a separate post, but on a board I have that is not the same make and model as his, and if you are familiar with the extreme economizing ECS often does on their boards, you would then realize that what is normal is not always to be taken for granted when ECS is involved. However, taking measurements with a DVM is a bit less simple than that in many instances since the parts are still in-circuit, potentially still in parallel or series with other parts unless one starts desoldering each one or can read and decipher the markings with a magnifying glass. However, on my other post where I listed capacitance values I am fairly confident there was not need as one end of the circuit was open at the SATA connector itself. This is where working with multi-layer boards becomes more complex, tracing a dense circuit enough to follow it within a reasonable amount of time, not merely soldering a connector or SMD cap on the board. Especially useful at the unpopulated areas for schematesizing the work in progress. Pretty much leaves out all doubt. A schematic leaves no doubt... if we can assume it was followed. Otherwise there are several hints but the first step is the one not so hard to do, put the port on the board after populating the missing cap locations with parts mirroring those on the other implemented ports. |

However, we are in a unique situation with modern electronics, you were not working with multilayer surface mount (anything, including SATA ports) for the first half of your life so you might as well cut your age almost in half when trying to claim experience in this topic. Come to think of it, there was very little that had more than 2 layers before '80, so if that is where your supposed experience comes from, suddenly it all starts to make sense. Pick up a soldering iron and see what you can do, you are not too old to learn new tricks (if you pull your head out of your ass long enough to actually try). In China people walk in off the streets and do more complex soldering after a few weeks training. |

Doesn't matter if the chipset has it if the BIOS doesn't dumbass. How little you know about modular bios. Find a different board with the same set of chips and you don't even have to use the same bios! There are also tools to reenable hidden features. They do not write a custom bios for every board that has only minor changes, they just add or subtract modules and hide features. What you are failing to grasp is why the OP suspected the mod was possible, because he, and I, and others, have already seen and done such things in the past. |

We were using upwards of a hundred layers (96, IIRC) on system backplanes and easily eight layers (4P-4S) on plug-in cards well before '80 (the latter were old hat when I started in '74). I haven't done anyting as simple as two layers since college projects, and that was limited by our wierd method (sides were cut individually on a lathe then laminated). |

No. It is MORE than a mere soldering job, as I stated in my original reply, which you likely did not read. Ok, you made a mistake underestimating the ability of people who have held a soldering iron. No. I have seen banks of dumb ****heads like you that claim to be good, but fail miserably when hundreds of thousands of dollars of company assets are at stake. I have personally beat out a crew of 50 such assholes for a chip removal task where their standard lab boys were scraping pads. That was a $10M+ rework effort. It's like billiards. You have to know a little bit about the nitty gritty to be able to do the really tricky shots. You, and nitty gritty have never met. That part was not such a big deal but continuing to insist you are right contrary to common sense? You're an idiot. Your grasp of common sense would fit on the tip of a molecular probe.

Thanks Phil. The 3081-ES9000 boards were much larger and had more layers (lower integration by several orders of magnitude). I did a search on the ibm.com site and didn't turn anything up on the older stuff ("Clark Board" was some sort of philanthropic organization, or something). |
