Elbox 1200 help

[StrontiumDog]

Can anybody tell me where on a Rev 1D4 A1200 mainboard I plug the reset connector to?

It's a standard 2pin connector connected to the reset switch on the case, but the only pins I can see to plug it onto are the 34 pin floppy (in use) or the clockport pins.

The Elbox webpage blurb says:

You can't see the pins for a reset switch because they are not there. There are two pads on the 1200 board which you can solder a switch/pins on to. The pads are below the PCMCIA port.

You have to solder a 2-pin connector (like those on PC boards) to TP1 PIN 10 and PIN 9. The RESET switch of a standard PC tower can be connected to the above connector.
