All upper motherboards variants(433,500 & 600 "A" and "AU"'s)will work with all lower mother boards.
There are jumper settings on the upper MB which determine processor speed.
There are two variants of the PWS, the MiataMX5 "A" series and the MiataGL "AU" series.
The MX5 was intended for Windoze/Linux OS and the GL intended for OpenVMS/Unix OS.
The GL has the Cypress IDE Chipset which SRM/OpenVMS recognizes, where as the MiataMX5 has the Intel SIO chipset that is not recognized.
Thusly a GL will boot OpenVMS off of an ATAPI IDE CD Rom, where as the MX5 needs a SCSI CD Rom to boot OpenVMS.
