Okay haha, I am a newb, but I have been visiting this site for many years, since before the whole Jim Collas stuff haha. Anywhow I was just wondering how to get an A500 to work if I don't have a power supply or the connectors for the monitor etc.

I think I should be able to wire up something for the monitor but the power suppy is a different issue. I think if somone could give me the pinouts for the connector I could open up the case, bypass the connector and wire in my own power supply that I rig up

Anyways thanks. BTW is there a way to hook a hard disk to this old machine. Oh and one more, there is a cover on the bottom of this unit and inside it is a removable "board" what is this board?
