Could somebody complete this (CN10, CN13, CN18, CN21, CN23 need info/confirmation), and move it to the main page? All questions are in italics. Pinout is wanted on a few connectors.

Connectors/LEDs

  • All of these numbers are allocated starting top left corner, allocated in scanline fashion.
  • The front of the board is the side with the VGA connector and the Geode processor.

Warnings

  • Just because it doesn't say it's changing, doesn't mean that it won't change!
  • Do NOT confuse J1 with CN9! You will fry the audio!
  • Do NOT populate both L36 and L37! (see CN23 PS/2 connector).
