I don't know which one is the better one, but are you sure you have a
clockport? :-) I thought I did and it turned out I didn't, only a chip RAM
expansion header (which is unusable) so check! There are four combinations:
1) 42 pins just underneath the keyboard connector.
-- YOU HAVE A CLOCKPORT
2) 22 pins underneath the k/b connector, with 21 'holes' to the left of it.
-- YOU HAVE A CLOCKPORT
3) 22 pins underneath the k/b connector, with 21 'holes' to the RIGHT of it.
-- YOU DON'T HAVE A CLOCKPORT, YOU HAVE A CHIP RAM EXPANSION HEADER.
4) No pins underneath the k/b connector at all.
-- YOU HAVE NEITHER - TOUGH LUCK!
Note that they are not directly under the k/b connector (the white block
where the ribbon cable used to plug in to) but down and to the right of it.
Catch ya later,
