FW: mach64 and XWindows



Hello Guys,

This isn't really Linux-il stuff, but I need a favour out of you guys. I am 
currently in negotiations with ATI regarding my non-X-working board. They have 
many revisions of that board, and they ARE willing to send me a board of a 
WORKING revision, so that I'll be able to operate XWindows with it.

The board is ATI Graphics Xpression PCI, 2MB DRAM (and ONLY this), and I need 
to know the following details, in order for them to send me a working one. I 
know it's a big favour, cause it means you need to pull out the board, and 
read all that info, but when I did it for MY board, it didn't take so long. so 
if someone is willing to do this for me, I'd REALLY apprecaite it. 

So, here is the info I need, please send it to me, if you can.

>1.   The three rows of numbers on the mach64 chip itself.

>4.   The bios p/n.  The BIOS part number can be found on a white sticker

10x in advance,
