The Micronik power connector is a custom built one. I visited two computer shops and one hobbyist electronics shop and none had ever seen a connector like it before.

I've been getting red screens on my previously-working Micronik 1200 setup lately, and I believe it's because the power connector is damaged. A little fiddling with the power cable clears it right up. You're probably going to have to build an adaptor, so make sure all the connections are secure.

Power pinouts from another source: The video adapter slot should be above-right from this connector. This is from the manual that shipped with a 5.44 board, so it's probably just like yours.

*EDIT* The connector was designed for use only with the Micronik power supply. You could probably find one, but they're only 200W. More powerful ones are rumored to exist, but I've never seen one.

Let's see... 2 inactive PCI, 2 ISA, 5 Zorro, 1 Video, no SIMM slots... yep. That's it!

As for the video enabler slot location, I was looking at the board from a different angle (top down, cards would be pointing up). In this picture, the LEFTMOST 3 pins should be the GND pins.
