I am working on a little database which will allow me to search
for motherboards having specific requirements. One of the requirements
is the IO layout in the back. I have so far made the following
layouts:

http://seven.alameda.net/~ulf/atx-io/ATX-IO-shields_files/ATX-IO-shields_gif_1.htm

This work so far is based on looking at all Supermicro boards and
the ATX specs on formfactor.org. I just started looking at other
manufactors, like MSI, but they have all their handbooks zip'ed,
so downloading them all, executing them, finding the page, is going
to take time.

What I am looking for is any io layout you have seen and is not
shown yet. An example for this would be:

Keyboard, Mouse stacked
USBx2, LAN stacked
Serial, VGA, Paralell stacked
3x Audio, Gameport stacked.

This would describe the top left layout in the above URL.

I have also put up a stencil for Visio which was used to make the
above URL. The stencil can be found at:
