Big Frank, Little Frank: What are These Mystery Ports For?
The full-time techie and self-described “part-time jackass” at drunken tech took a look inside a new single quad-core Mac Pro to find two mystery ports named “Big Frank” and “Little Frank.”
DT writes: “I haven’t seen an Easter egg, hardware or software, on an Apple product in a LONG time. I have no idea what the “Big Frank†non-socket or “Little Frank†actual-socket is. My only speculation is that the single quad-core board is the “Little Frank†and that the dual quad-core board is “Big Frank.â€Â I’ll speculate some more and say that maybe the connector is for the equipment testing hardware. ”
Any other guesses?
