A1200 clock port
« on: November 21, 2007, 02:31:19 AM »
Hello there!

This is the first time I've posted here since 2001, although I've forgotten the user name I had then. So to all intents and purposes, hello for the first time:-)

I have two A1200's, one of which is in its original desktop case, and doesn't appear to have a clock port.  It does however have the solderpoints where the header would go on the mobo.  

Would I be correct in assuming that if I simply solder the pins for the clockport header in place it will work, or did some A1200 revisions simply have the clockport functionality taken out altogether?

I can probably find out the mobo revison number when I'm next in front of the computer on Friday if that helps.

1) A1200 Power Tower, Blizzard PPC 603+040 128Mb, BVision
2) A1200 Desktop with an ugly looking hole hacked out of the trap door cover to accommodate a DCE built Blizzard 1260 with 64Mb (angled SIMM slot).
not in use:
3) A4000/040 - has an Emplant card installed.  Sadly no video output:-( current location: loft
4) A1000 - owned it since about 1988, current location: loft (AFAIK it still works though)

Cheers guys,

I *may* have a go at adding my own header pins at some point and see what happens.....

I don't want to blow the 1200 up though, I've had it since 1992. Its survived being put in and then taken out of 2 tower conversions, and is currently back in its original case. I just fancied adding USB to it, but will probably go down the PCMCIA compact flash adaptor route instead.
