I have all slots full, I cannot confirm the order right now,
but it seems right to me. In my unit, the PSU e ontop the harddisk,
and there are three fans on the bottom of the case, that slide just
like a rack (I guess it's even numbered after all the other boards),
after a couple of screws have been removed.

Hum, one of the boards of my unit, the one with the floppy
interface, ethernet, and serial ports, has a DB9 conector labeled
keyboard. But I found a couple of extra lines in the DB15 monitor
connector besides video and sync signals...

Thanks for the info anyway.
