Bought two of these brand new units, initially as Monitors, but looked
(famous last words) a relatively easy job to build a cheap basic set up
(using bits from old systems), free of the usual tangle of wires, for the
grandkids. Managed to find a Flex ATX mobo with everything 'on board' and am
almost there with a P3 cpu, memory, hard disk and cdrom, but without
documentation of any sort, I am a bit stumped with the lack of front panel
connectors. All that is left over is a 22 pin block connector with 4 wires
running off it (red, blue, yellow, white) they look to originate from the
front panel of the monitor and presume (dangerous ?) that two will have to
be to the PWR SW and two will probably be the PWR LED (there doesn't appear
to be any provision for RESET).
From what I can discover the units were manufactured for Evesham Micros some
2/3 years ago, they can't/won't help as I did not buy the units from them.
Please, Has anyone any info on these units, particularly from the wiring
point of view. I don't really want to blow a perfectly good motherboard/CPU
by taking a gamble on the picking the correct combination of cables without
asking first.
Hope someone out there can help
TIA
