    Anyone got a busted 7811FX or other 78XX motherboard?

    I'm interested in getting a picture of a spot on the backside of the motherboard, and I really don't want to further disassemble mine to get the picture... I found the ICS PLL and I'm trying to figure out if there's a way to kill the trusted mode enable signal to allow FSB overclocking. There's a resistor jumping into the TME pins line (TME also functions as the +3.3v PCI clock after startup) and I'm wondering which part of the line is the PCI clock and which is the TME...

    That or if someone knows someone that can get us a board schematic for any of these babies, why that'd be outstanding... or even just tell us what resistor R248's function is from someone that has access to the schematic.
