''What does it have?''
* UART2
* UART3
* TV out
* Stereo line out
* Stereo line in
* The UART lines can also be used as GPIO (six of them) and PWM lines (four of them).

''Where can we get the connectors from?''

* The connector appears to be a Tyco Electronics connector, part number 1717169-2
* The manufacturer does *not* stock these for engineering samples, and very few vendors carry them
* Community member [http://boards.openpandora.org/index.php?/user/157-wizardstan/ WizardStan] has ordered a bunch and is selling them at $2 a piece plus shipping from Canada, [http://boards.openpandora.org/index.php?/topic/2675-ext-connectors/ see here (thread)] or [http://pandorapress.net/2011/05/18/ext-connectors-have-arrived/ here (article)]

===How Do I Make a TV-Out Cable?===
* There are some useful tips in the [http://boards.openpandora.org/index.php?/topic/2675-ext-connectors/ EXT Connectors] thread.
* A guide explaining one way of creating the video cables can be found [http://dl.openhandhelds.org/cgi-bin/pandora.cgi?0,0,0,0,23,465 here]
* MarkoeZ Has written a blog post about it [http://markoez.pirategames.co.uk/index.php/blog/pandora-ext-tv-out-explained/ here]
