Title: Need help ACE HD
Post by: pstriolo on February 26, 2016, 08:06:17 PM
Dear all

I have just received a junk x68000 HD without the power supply inside. I manage to make a new one with a PC power supply  and the tutorial found on internet but as i dont have any cables and connectors remaining inside the x68000 i need to be sure of the pinout on the motherboard. Can someone make me some photos of the connections so that i can identify the order with the cables color for the various pinout. I think there is a main connectors, 2 sub connections, 2 FDD, 1 HD.

Thanks for your help.

Best regards.

Yes of course but it doesn't help me to know on which side the connector must be plugged on the mainboard. there is two possibilities if you don't have the pinout and i don't want to damage the motherboard.

My system has not the power supply nor the cables from the power supply  and i must rework everything.

Best regards

It's very simple.Take a multimeter and trace  back the connector on the motherboard (identify where is +5V and GND at least) :) So you can figure out  the pinout on motherboard.
