looking at an A-test board, the connector is a "Suyin" part (marking
very tiny, on the front face).  the back has a number "26147".

looking at their website, it seems like it might be one of these:

(i found these under "All Desktop Connectors" at
    http://www.suyinusa.com/all_products.asp )

i can't find the calipers right now, so i can't verify any dimensions
from the technical drawings.  i can do that, though.
