Does anyone know if it is possible to use a rev A motherboard with the 333 MHz daughter card from a rev D to give the machine the use of a mezziane slot? Just something I have been wondering about. Also could you take a 333MHz daughter card and use it to upgrade the 2333 to 266 MHz's?

the 333 daughtercard upgrade to 233 and 266 machines works very well.
The motherboards are identical for rev. C, and D. Rev B is almost identical but adds infrared. Rev.A has infrared and the rage IIc video chip. the others are equipped with rage pro chips.
It is also possible to overclock the earlier cards to higher speeds.
There's a powerlogix upgrade card or a Sonnet Harmoni card coming if you want to take the easy road to 466 or 500 mhz..

I was planning on a Harmoni upgrade in a few months for my rev D, but I was thinking about swapping my motherboard for one with the mezziane slot. Not sure if I will do it, but just wanted to know if it is possible.

what did you search for? A search of "iMac motherboard" turns up a bunch of results, only this one being related to a motherboard with a mezziane slot being used in a rev d, or 333MHz daughter card being used in a rev a-c.
