Re: What is this connector?

--cut from a related posting on Delphi--

The "S1" connector is unique to the ROM 3 board. By shorting it, it locks
   out the text based Control Panel desk accessory (it disappears from the
   CDA menu). This was a feature Apple added to prevent school children
   from tampering with the Control Panel settings. It has no affect on the
   graphical System 5 and 6 NDA Control Panel though.
