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)

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:

- D: very dirty :(

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

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!
