What Is This Connector?

Priority Interrupt chain. Should go from 16FDC OUT to TU-ART IN.
Note that the pins on the 4/16/64FDC are the opposite of all other cards, so
the cable connects to the same side pin on both boards (away from the
edge of the card).

The extra wire is in case you have another board requiring connection to the
interrupt chain, e.g. a PRI printer interface; if all you have is the
TU-ART, just leave it dangling:

__+ +_____________ 16FDC
        |
        |
__+ +_____________TU-ART
     |
     |

If you have a WDI type hard disk controller with a connector, do NOT connect
to it; they have a separate interrupt chain.

Good luck; nice to see someone actually bringing a Cromemco back to life.
Which model System 2 BTW? Sounds like a CS-2, dual TM100 floppies,
full width 21 slot backplane, no internal HD?

So, what other cards were in there? Got any software/OS for it?

Earlier today, I had Mintaka (Cromemco System Two) opened up and had
her cards pulled so I could write down an inventory of what all she
has in her. I noticed that on the FDC16 floppy controller, there is
a wire plugged into a 2 pin connector on the card. The other end of
the wire is not connected to anything. Any idea what it is supposed
to go to?
