CPS2 A-Board pin replacements...

[ahcmetal]

I've got a non-working A-Board and I'm hoping it's just these 2 broken pins on the 96-pin header.

I've removed them...but not sure if there's an exact replacement available now. I saw an old thread saying to buy a 28mm pin and file the solder end to be more narrow, an exact replacement would be nice though.

Just a thought and not a guarantee, but don't the different region A boards have different pins blocked? In short might there be 2 unused pins you can relocate?

Been so long since I worked on this system I forgot where I put all the replacement connectors I bought 19 yrs ago
