     Simple questions for you --- not for me.


    Please tell me what a "daughter" board, a "mother" board, and a "backplane" are?


    Thank you, thank you.

Daughter board is one that mounts to the cpu to hold sound simm's etc.  Mother board and backplane are the same,  The board that mounts on back left lower wall.  MM board or enhanced is considered a daughter board.  Backplane has all your wires running to it and in old s and s+ terms it was called a mother board.  Your cpu,processer, what ever you want to call it slides out of the tray and attaches to the backeplane "motherboard"  inside the cpu is the daughter/expansion board--if needed.  I could go on for days but that sums it up pretty much.

I totally agree with sizzler and I would like to add that perhaps we can start calling the motherboard in an S+ , a "backplane" board.

However, even doing this, may cause confusion with us older folks between an S+ and an S2000.... 

I can't even set my girlfriend's stupid alarm clock when the power goes out!

  Hey bunker,
   You are right about the clock - It gave me much pleasure to cut a speaker wire too shut it up! Clock works fine.
