Hardware masters, this post is for you ! ;-)

I've bought a Falcon on thursday and I opened it in order to clean it. What a suprise... I saw a lot of hardware hacking on the motherboard. I toke some snaps, so anyone can tell me what are these modifications? I must say the Falcon runs pretty wel.

(Sorry for the bad quality of the photos... I was too close)

Photos are located here:

Photos of motherboard:

The same ones with indications to locate the modifications. I called them A, B, C, D and E. On these pictures we don't see E:

And now every modification:

- A: there is a wire between ACIAs:

modif_a_2.jpg

- B: there are two orange components.
modif_b_1.jpg
modif_b_2.jpg

- C: with an orange component and a green wire connected to another component:
modif_c_1.jpg
modif_c_2.jpg
modif_c_3.jpg

- D: very dirty :(
modif_d_1.jpg
modif_d_2.jpg
modif_d_3.jpg
modif_d_4.jpg

- E: located on the right of the floppy connector (there is a black wire soldered on the board):
modif_e_1.jpg
modif_e_2.jpg

Now the keyboard. Very odd! I don't know what the guy wanted to do...

Ok, enough pictures :)
I really would like to know what are these modifications. It would be nice to help me.
Thanks!
