I don't have anything to plug into the cart port which takes normal eproms.. I don't have a sidecart either..

I have wondered about making a dedicated diagrom cart, but it be another project and when a plcc ROM can be plugged in anyway..

Looking at the CT60 PSU connector, I noticed it actually has -12 wired to the SV connector, and PSON is wired.. But on the CT60 PSU both are missing ?

Id assume the PSON is the control in which allows the CT60 to turn on /off the ATX PSU. But that signal is totally missing on the CT60 PSU . So I assume nobody uses that feature ? Or just don't care if there's a power on off switch anyway, so probably doesn't matter ?

But the CT60 PSON looks like a toggle on/off, so I'm a bit confused what's actually turning the whole thing on in the first place ? I assume things like the pico psu don't even use the PSON signal ?

I never heard of SV needed -12 V ?

Also, what was that issue where the voltages had to come up in a certain order or something ?

I've also decided the power cables will be modulor. There will just be a ATX power cable from CT60 to PSU board. Similar with Falcon power cable. The CT60e doesn't need the Falcon power cable. So if its a unpluggable cable, then it can just be left off.

The IDE port is in the way. Will have to probably do some sort of over-head mounting bracket above the PSU itself so the CF card can be mounted that way. No idea. But nowhere else to really mount it.
