- There is a 40 Pin Clock Header in the A1200, it's located in about the Middle
- of the computer, You can Buy just the Clock Modual to plug into it, I have
- one myself I'm not using since my A1230 Series II GVP Card has the Clock on
- it. You can't have a Clock on the Trapdoor Slot and the Header at the SAME
- TIME. I don't know how much they are, somewhere around $25 I would guess?!?!
- I payed about $40 for mine Years ago, When the A1200's fist came out. I'm
- sure there still being made these days.
