GND can be gotten anywhere on the board, it's all over. you can even use the large golden rim that runs around the entire MB.


that said, I got my messiah today as well from charlie and dust2dust, and it works perfectly in my V3.
I used udma 100 wires to hook up the bios and cd controller pins, about 3 inches to the cd controller and 4 to the bios (top bios). I used normal IDE wire to connect reset, scex, GND and 3.3V.
the soldering iron used was an Ersa 8W iron with a 0.4 mm tip.
the install isn't hard if you got a steady hand and good eyes.. just takes patience.
