   As I wrote in the article, I myself have not tested the procedure but I didn't   
   see any re-naming steps in the original article.   
   During the process, you changed model nember. I don't know if changing model   
   number is just information only in the BIOS screen or do something in flash   
   process. But those who apply "wrong" flash program may not change the value.   
      
   Anyway you need to configure 6885 propely as an PCI/ISA with a 5-slot PCI/ISA   
   system before you apply Flash program of 6886.   
   Even if you can successfully flash it up, changing the riser from 5-slot to   
   3-slot is another challenge.   
   My Japanese article was written in Dec. 1999, so the original comment to the   
   New Group by N.G. member might be posted sometime around 1996-1998.  Don't now   
   if there are such old log files out there.   
      
   BTW, In US region, it looks like 6885 to 6886 conversion kit was available   
   back then.
