[NTLK] Mechanical details for internal serial slot card

[Andrei Chichak]

I was wrong, as stated by James, the connector is a JAE part.

The part number is JAE    IL-WX-32PB-VF-BE

The connector has a pin spacing of 0.8mm. You have to know where it is so that you can get the mounting holes and external connector in the proper positions. A ruler isn't going to cut it. You should be as precise as possible with your measurements.

I ended up sacrificing one of my 2100s for my experiments. If it gets blown up, thats the price of experimentation.
