Thanks, it's a different place from where I got my info from ... actually, I
took the pin-outs from the molex connector from the Amiga supply and the
pin-outs from the AT supply and played mix & match. I'll go to that web site
and bookmark it for future reference. <brief pause> There, that's done.

Tell me about it. I'll probably need to get motivated first to go look for a
set of CIAs. Then get further motivated into setting up my soldering bench and
finding the solder sucker and solder wick I know is somewhere in this rat's
nest.   Bv)=  Or just bundle it up and send it off to St. Paul, MN and Raycomp.

Oh, and by the way ...
