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: http://seven.alameda.net/~ulf/atx-io/ATX-IO.vss -- Regards, Ulf. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Ulf Zimmermann, 1525 Pacific Ave., Alameda, CA-94501, #: 510-865-0204 You can find my resume at: http://seven.Alameda.net/~ulf/resume.html
