Most motherboards have several sub-revisions which are also listed here for every revision. On fat motherboards, the subrevision is denoted by the number after the last hyphen in the item No. On slim motherboards, it is written after the board number (e.g. GH-032-11). For PSX (DESR) motherboards, see [[PSX#Motherboards|PSX motherboards]]. For arcade systems, see [[Arcade Boards]].

** Some, but not all XPD-005 boards have a small pcb (XDI-002) with a few components soldered with two wires directly to the motherboard. Boards without this additional board have a small MLCC on these pads.
