(Pics Added)A500 with GVP40mhzA530Turbo and a 15pin female connector?

No - that version of Kickstart requires the wire to be cut in an A500. Chips were sold like that because in some revision mobo's, requires it to be connected. Leave it the way it is.

So yeah, looks like you have an old ICD FF/SD hooked to Denise like I thought AND a MegaChip board that allows 2MB Chip RAM in that A500. That is a really, really nice freebie you got there  

Hook her to a VGA monitor and power her up!

That wire on the kickstart is needed on older revision motherboards, you remove it on rev 6 or higher boards.

Awesome system!

Cool .. thanks for the info :-).. Will do some cleaning of the keyboard now that the machine is apart.  So will a flat panel monitor work?

I would have to disagree... tried several monitors here at work..

Dell UltraSharp 2000FP
Dell 1905FP
Sony MultiScan 520GS (big crt)..

These did not work..although I would say the 2000fp seemed to want to work..but didn't
