It's the one with the PS2 connector. If I can grab my grabber card I can
take a picture later of the ISA card. I belive it controll's stuff like the
fan's and so.

One of the mainboards power cables connects to the board on the other side
of the plate what connects to the power supply, the fan's, the heat sensors,
the power switch and to the ISA board (it's a flatwire cable like the floppy
drive ones going to the ISA board.)

I tried to re-seat all the cards and stuff havent tried the memory (guess
that's next)
