relabeled PC Chips M717 perhaps?

I'm surprised it doesn't have one of those horrible Houston Tech CMOS/RTC chips

[edwin]

hehe. You'd reckon they only relabel the PC Chips boards that actually have one of those BS thingies on them then?

thanks so much for the info.....

another question... atx form factor card...i dont have one..do i really need to purchase the card for using the usb, ps2 mouse and ird ?

if the pins are known can i just put plug on pins and wire it correctly for all the devices? usb mouse .etc

My ATX form card also has some R/C decoupling to prevent RF emission by the look of it, plus the odd inductor and power smoothing cap, but nothing fancy. In principle you should be able to build your own cables.

connector ...done....successful

pins for mouse and usb ...a little orientation of the pins was tricky with the diagrams and running usb camera

tested...works great !!!!

thanks to everyone who replied !!!!!!
