I’m currently building my second H5(A3) and I was wondering what are these 3 connectors on the motherboard: J2 (close to the external floppy connector), 2 rows of headers below the GLUE and the « IO » connector next to IO port 4. And one extra questions

Quick questions on H5
Hi,
I’m currently building my second H5(A3) and I was wondering what are these 3 connectors on the motherboard: J2 (close to the external floppy connector), 2 rows of headers below the GLUE and the « IO » connector next to IO port 4. And one extra questions
:Anyone knows the reference of a VGA connector that has the right dimensions to fit on the H5?

The double row headers on the right are for the Falcon RAM board.. most don't use it..olivier.jan wrote: Tue Feb 23, 2021 9:51 pm I’m currently building my second H5(A3) and I was wondering what are these 3 connectors on the motherboard: J2 (close to the external floppy connector), 2 rows of headers below the GLUE and the « IO » connector next to IO port 4.
Top middle (as in your pic) is DC jack for power (to power ultrasatan etc) , but ive not got around to trying the connectors I got to for it.
Far right header are spare IO pins - nothing uses them currently.
I don't know any part numbers, kinda assume any will fit.olivier.jan wrote: Tue Feb 23, 2021 9:51 pm And one extra questions:Anyone knows the reference of a VGA connector that has the right dimensions to fit on the H5?

Don't listen to him @olivier.jan… I think he means left on the pic above, but that it is the right header of the two needed. Could be my translation misunderstanding this.exxos wrote: Tue Feb 23, 2021 11:25 pm The double row headers on the right are for the Falcon RAM board.. most don't use it..
