Installing RapidRoad on 1200 with full-sized clock port

[LoadWB]

The short clock-port header which came with my RapidRoad will not push down on the clock port as all of the pins are present.  Does anyone have a way to get this done easily without me having to hack up ports or cables?

That's my fear.  I was really hoping I'd get a response like "oh, x-vendor has a cable here, and it's pretty cheap."

I'm not certain I can drill holes in the connector.  Where the clock port pins hit is part of the clasp which holds the top to the IDC pins.

This is probably the same thing I'd do.  If I recall correctly, aren't those extra sets of pins completely useless?

I pulled up Ian Stedman's archive on AmiNet.  Those extra pins are DRAM pins which all connect to the on-board 2MB and are for our purposes useless.  So, I suppose today I shall shear a couple of pins.

Also indicates to me that my motherboard is an early version.  1D.  I never bothered to look up what the versions are.

Not really - you can hide them in food.

Excellent!
