CC thru 575 logic board edge connector diagram?

The Color Classic through LC575 all-in-ones all shared an edge connector that would slide into a slot in the case (attached to lots of ribbons to take signals to video, and peripherals).

Does anyone have a diagram of the pin-outs of that connector or slot? I can find the one for the SCSI+IDE 580 thru 6500 system, but I can't find one for the SCSI only CCs to 575s.

Anybody?

IIRC (and there's no guarantee that I do), the 575 and CC pinouts are identical; the case surgery involved is to move the cable harness edge connector further towards the case front to account for the length of the 575 logic. If you can live with the logicboard sticking out an inch or so from the back, or make up a box to surround the excess, you can do the 575 conversion without internal surgery.

*BUT*

I recommend checking my recollections against the Power Color Classic pages over at Applefritter.

The 575 and CC logic boards have identical dimensions, and compatible (if not identical) electrical connections on the SCSI only edge connector. The 58X machines had a very similar external case to the other 500 series cases (but not identical - the new non-Trinitron monitors had a different radius tube so the top half of the case was redesigned) and the similar but longer slide-in lobos from the 63X series. The internals were an inch or two further forward (necessitating the surgery you mentioned) and had IDE and SCSI, so a completely different edge connector than the CC through 57Xs.

Unfortunately I can find the 580/630 through 6500 edge connector diagram, but not the CC-57X one.

Those are great resources for the onboard interfaces, but I can't tell if they'll help me yet. Awesome! Thanks!
