On my todo list are the following:
Put in a PCI video card or attach to the onboard header to have a look at the BIOS information, but I don't have the necessary parts/pieces on-hand at the moment.
For the record, I am posting a pinout of the VGA header (J16). Using a 2x8 female header and 0.1" leads attached to a 15-pin DSUB connector works great and was quite simple to construct. Pin 1 is closest to the front right corner of the chassis (or the rear corner of the PCI slot), in the event that its description is not silkscreened to the mainboard. I used a spare joystick mainboard connector (snip) soldered to a 15-pin female VGA DSUB connector (snip snip). 1 - RED (Red Video) 2 - GREEN (Green Video) 3 - BLUE (Blue Video) 4 - ID2 (Monitor ID Bit #2) 5 - GND (Ground) 6 - RGND (Red Ground) 7 - GGND (Green Ground) 8 - BGND (Blue Ground) 9 - unused (unused) 10 - SGND (Sync Ground) 11 - ID0 (Monitor ID Bit #0) 12 - ID1 (Monitor ID Bit #1) 13 - HSYNC (Horizontal Sync) 14 - VSYNC (Vertical Sync) 15 - ID3 (Monitor ID Bit #3) I haven't managed to get a pinout on what I *think* are the PS2 connectors so that's still a wash; however, I will have access to a USB PCI card soon -- perhaps I can glean more info from the BIOS using this. At the moment, I can tell that it's an Award BIOS version 4.51PG, with some kind of Nortel identifier under that: 'NII 100-A5-0108-BB'
