| Finally - it took very long - but now the boards are here.
I uploaded a few images of an assembled one in the hardware section.

| Very nice photos and very clean layout.
If we do a list of what on it, left to right, backplane to front, we have ?
- Ethernet + 2 USB, 4 audio CINCH ?? (yes i'm wondering), DVI, PS2 Keyboard and mouse, serial connector.
- ten pin riser (what for ?),thirteen pin reiser (15Khz video ?), "orontel" chip (ramdac ?), 1 group of 12 holes (what for ?)
- PCI slot, 2 groups of 8 holes and 1 group of ten holes (what for ?), realtek ethernet chip (with the "crab" on it), Cyclone IV FPGA (SAGA+68050 ?) with memory chips underneath, CPU riser for 68060 cards
- PCI "Nec" Chip controller, thirteen pin riser (// port or ?), max II FPGA for I/O ?,
- power supply connector and 1 group of 26 holes above (// port or ?) , CF connector and 1 group of holes for not soldered IDE connector below ?, 2 joystick riser and 1 group of holes for not soldered FD connector ?
Main question are:
- why are they 4 audio cinch ?
- USB keyboard and mouse are natively working on natami (i do not have any PS2 device any more).
- CF is the default option, or you will solder IDE connector ?
If we want extra soldered connectors, we have to do this or they will be options when ordering (i'm not realy an handywork guy, and will be afraid to fry the MB when soldering, even if i've already done soldering time to time).
Thanks in advance for your answers.

Not everything in the photos are soldered which will be soldered in the "final product". It is just "mounting and testing in progress" pics for now. :) That is why the IDE connector is not mounted there yet, for example. And no, USB keyboard/mouse does not work yet.
Niclas did a pretty good job identifying the connectors.. who can guess all of them? :)

| Hi Niclas,
a very good picture, thank you!
The 9-pin dsub on the lower left side is serial, btw. Hi Loic,
this is a board in the bring up state and the missing
connectors will get soldered. USB for keyboard is not yet implemented but cheap
PS2_to_USB converters are available for the meantime.
