Dang! Jean, you erased what he posted.  What he had posted showed 9 pins
per row, with 2 pins missing on the top row.  I just looked at 3 KR637
boards here, and all of them matched the 9-pin per row arrangement.

Checking our pvt emails, one I wrote to you on 7/24/03 included - -

"Looking at pinouts on that frontpanel header - -

  2   6 8 10 12    16 18
  1 3 5 7  9 11 13 15 17

"What have you found?  I first thought 7-8 was for PWR-ON, but now
  I think those must be for RESET.  Board here seemed to be locked
  to "ON", so I didn't want to short out other pins for extended
  periods of seconds looking for PWR-ON, because I was afraid I
  might blow out circuits trying to supply +5V for LEDS."

I _wish_ you had noticed that closer to that 7/24 email I sent.  Might
have avoided a bit of confusion.


Maybe I sent you an "older" version of the board?  I didn't know I had
any older versions, and didn't suspect that there may have been any
difference in the frontpanel I/O pinouts. I dunno if you can still see
the board, but on the rear of the board, near the IDE cable connectors,
by where it says "KR637", there is a white sticker, and that is a label
put on there by MicronPC, and the number on these here is
"MBD001103-002xxxx" .  That is the number needed when you go to MicronPC
website (remainders thereof) to look for manuals, drivers, and etc.  The
'1103' part is the basic mainboard number, and revisions show up in the
part which has "002xxxx" in there.  Maybe you got a
"001xxxx" board??
