The start / reset / NMI functions on the G3 B&W are handled by a small circuit board, about two inches square, that is inside a small metal bracket that snaps into the front of the chassis. This small and (one would think) simple task reqires three cable connection. (Power, 3-pin round cable to connector J2 on the mobo, and a 20-pin ribbon cable to J23 on the mobo.)
Does anybody know why this complexity is needed? Or to but it another way, does anyone have a document specifying what all those lines -DO-? The Wintel world seems to get by with a lot fewer front panel signals. The REAL bottom line is that I'm doing yet another casemod based on the Yosemite mobo, and I want to understand these signals so that I can implement them in ways OTHER than the little front panel card. Thanks in advance for any insight. - Marty -- G-List is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
