Firebox X500 hardware

hello all,
here is some interessing information about firebox series X
i just tried to add a keyboard to enter setup.
The keyboard is a small commector below the cable of the front panel board. This is a 8 pins shape connector with only 6 pins installed
Here is the pinout of the PS/2 connector: http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fichier:MiniDIN-6_Connector_Pinout.svg
here is the configuration of the firebox connector that i found after some trials:
7 1

8 6 4 2pins 3 and 5 doesn't exist!
here is the wiring between firebox and PS/2:
Firebox PS/2
1 : CLK –--- 5
2 : GND
4 : DATA-----1
6 : nc
7 : GND------3
8 : +5VDC---4Now you can plug a pci video card and connect a keyboard, you can enter bios if you wish !
Enjoy :)
