A1200 clock header?

How can I tell if the clock header on my A1200 is one of those installed incorrectly or not? On my A1200, it occupies the righthand half (the side opposite from pin 1) of a larger set of holes in the PC board, presumably intended for a nonexistent chip RAM upgrade.

That is correct! My first 1200 had the pins on the left side so my 1200 A-clock board could not work. From what I understand, the 1200 was probably going to have 1 meg chip ram expandable to 2 megs of chip ram. I guess Commodore made a wise move! later! – via Whap!

Thanks for the info. Glad to hear that my clock header is "correct". I did, however, finally get the May AmigaWorld and couldn't help but notice that Microbotics and others have come up with neat goodies (with clock!) for the trap door expansion slot. Decisions, decisions.

You should at least get a Microbotics MBX-1200z (with clock) even if you can't afford the ram now…eventually you will want to add Fast Ram! later!
