HELP!!! eMac into a PowerMac 6100 case - Down Converter Board pinout ??????????

Hi all, first of all for my "not so good english".

I'm Planning to install a 1st generation eMac logic board into a PowerMac 6100 case I have lying around.

I am going to use an ATX Power Supply, but I need the voltage pinout information of the Down converter Board connector, which is placed at the edge of the logic board near the processor.

This connector is "similar" to the one used in the iMacs, but with 4 less pins.

I have the voltage pinout for an iMac, but as the connector is different I cannot use this information with my eMac board.

Video out through the internal connector is not difficult because this eMac logic board performs the same connector as the iMac, and so I will be able to use the internal video signal without video mirroring.

I encourage anyone with an eMac or with access to one, just to measure this voltages and post this information here, because I cannot find this information for myself (dead analog board).

As for the Case mod, it is almost finished, only waiting for this information to arrive ;-).
I'll post it as soon as I know how to connect my eMac logic board to an ATX PSU.

The Specs of this "New Powermac 6100" will be:
- 700 Mhz G4 Processor @ 100 Mhz FSB (¿?overclock up to 933 Mhz @ 133 Mhz FSB).
- 512 Mb PC133 SDRAM (1 DIMM).
- Following Drives configuration:
-- 1st IDE Channel: 40 Gb HD @ 7200 rpm and Pionner DVR-105.
-- 2nd IDE Channel: RAID system (using Mac OS X Mirroring Mode) with 2x250 Gb HD @7200 rpm.
- nVidia Geforce2-MX with 32 Mb DDR SDRAM.

I hope that somebody provides this pinout info, because it will be a really well performer system into a small & wonderfully designed case.

Here's a pic where the connector is placed in the logic board:

I meant to say:

"Hi all, fist of all SORRY for my "not so good english".

You are joking, arn't you?

You do know you said fist instead of first, because if it was intentional that was the worst joke I have heard in several years, (not including the one about the priest, the hairdresser, the motorcycle and the baby crocodile).

measure it

Get a cheap voltmeter and check each pin. Most of them will be ground.

This is what I would like to

This is what I would like to do, but I can't because I only have the logic board, not the analog board of the eMac, and so it won't boot up.

Because of that, I'm looking for someone with a working eMac to measure this.

Please...
