   top of the board (SV1) so as not to torque the board (use thumb pressing at   
   right edge to avoid    
   discomfort from soldered pins). Make sure the 7 pin female socket is aligned   
   with the seven pins of the IIGS's sound connector, as there is no protection   
   to prevent an offset. Connect the provided jumper wire with the red wire on   
   the left to the fan    
   connector. Connect the jumper wire with black to the left (indicated GND) on   
   JP4 at rear of board. If polarity reversed will not cause harm and just wont   
   work. Connect your fan making sure power is closest to the front edge of the   
   board at JP3 (+12V and    
   GND indicated). Connect your headphone jack at the rear of the board."   
      
   Thanks Andy & Charlie! I think it was just my paranoid work computer blocking   
   the domain name, I was able to open the page straight away on my phone.   
   Installation went well, and the board is working now in my ROM03.    
      
   I believe the stereo output is working as expected, but I only have some   
   earbuds with me so it's not exactly a proper test. I'm running the game   
   'Silpheed' which I've read provides a good test sample of stereo music.   
   Comparing the minisound GS to the    
   built-in mono headphone jack, my impression was that the music sounded a bit   
   more brassy / treble via the minisound. I also could hear a quiet high-pitched   
   whine when there was no sound being generated, which I could not hear via the   
   mono jack. I need to    
   link up a pair of decent speakers when I get home from Kansasfest in a few   
   days, before I form my final impression.   
      
   The power pass-through to the fan works just fine.
