Pretty sure it's standard, same as the x-core box:

Oh, that I don't have an issue with. It's just that I don't know which wires go to which pins. And the actual ps2 connector is covered in hard plastic, so taking it apart would be a PITA.

I hate to keep on asking for such "basic" help, but …. my dislike of hardware, my luck luck with it, and my lack of experience with it all kind of feed each other.
But you wouldn't happen to know which of wire is which by color? (red, green, brown and yellow).

And again, thanks for all of your help. It has definitely been appreciated.

Ah. No idea I'm afraid. Could be standard though I suppose.

I had to literally tear apart the connector housing for the PS2 port, but as it was $5, and basically only being used for this, I didn't see an issue.

But I got it working! Got into the BIOS, configured the CF card, and booted.

stephenw10, thank you for all your help! It is definitely appreciated!

And specifically the ps2 header I got was this one:

And in case anyone else needs it,
pin 1: green,
pin 2: brown,
pin 4: red,
pin 8: yellow,

At least, for the cable I got, that's what worked.
