Inside my A2000 I have noticed a 26 way pin strip in front of the serial port. What is it?

This had me stumped for ages, not owning an A2000 I was forced too look at really small pictures of the inside of the A2000. The answer came from Eddie, in the Workbench section of Fidonet. This is an extract from his explanation.

"You're /almost/ there - it /is/ used by an expansion board, but not a Zorro one. AFAIK, the only device which used the header was the internal MIDI interface board marketed by Datel. The board connected to the header via a ribbon cable, obviating the need to route any cables outside the case, then back in again. Of course, the header didn't give you an extra port - huh! *we* should be so lucky!; you couldn't, for example, drive an external MIDI module and a modem from it at the same time."
