   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.  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 ...
