[dba-Tech] Mother Board

There is usually a small non-standard connector in addition to the standard
connectors.

The other problem can be the size shape of the power supply for the various
available specialized cases. The connectors are all standard but the units
aren't.

so, are the MBs and drives both modified, i.e., have non-standard
connectors?
how about the power connectors on the MB?

thanks
