Re: Whats it for?

I have a IIgs with those connectors.  There is another connector
next to the power supply connection which I don't know what
it's for and it has a connector for a keypad and a IIe keyboard.
The battery is also soldered in.  It's a ROM 1 machine which
I picked up for its 1 meg memory card.  It also has a slightly
different power supply.  It has a 2.5amp 12 volt connection
but its only rated at 35 watts whereas my ROM 3 machine
has a 1 amp 12 volt connection at 70 watts.  Why the difference
in power supplies?  So the motherboard is a IIe upgrade in
a IIgs box.  It also has a small daughter board with a transitor
and a couple of resistors to fix some bug on the motherboard.
It is up near the music card connector.
