Thank you very much. I have both a 250407/251137 REV.C and a 250409/252311 REV.A motherboards. The former powers up but I have no sound except for the click in the audio when turning it on. The latter just show a white screen on the screen, and there is a light voltage drop in the +5v line that feeds the top row of chips.

So I want to test some 85xx parts in the 65xx board. I will start with the 8500 in the 6510 socket, as they say it's a direct replacement.
