- The pinout is different, so you can't plug it into the same
- socket. Electrically, the '030 signals are a superset of
- the '020 signals, so you can wire them up nearly 1 for 1,
- with the addition of pull-up resistors on a few of the
- '030 signals that aren't present on the '020.
-
- I don't know of any commercial adapters that do this, though
- there might be something available somewhere.
