Then I was probably lucky ;)
However, the reason for the update was to use two 450MHz modules from an
Ultra80 that didn't want to go online anymore. However, all four modules did
not work (means: take the two 350 out and put the two 450 in).
To make it worse, the RAM from the Ultra80 is to high for the Utra60 (damn
power supply).
So the only useful things from the Ultra80 were a SCA harddrive and a Raptor
framebuffer PCI card with VGA out (but Elite3D with 13W3->VGA already works).
