Ground mod step 2: repin the power supply to CPU power cable
Steps
- Replace every pin at both ends of the cable from power supply J2 to CPU A1-J1.
- On 80/80A, swap the round header pins at power supply J2 for Molex .156" square header pins 26-48-1125 and fit a new 6-pin 09-50-3121 housing with Trifurcon 08-52-0113 pins.
- On all games, fit the five A1-J1 wires with new Molex 08-52-0072 pins; the old CPU-end housing can be reused.
