Are both for the dreaded Geoport modem? I don't know about the 60 pin connector, but the Geoport Clock is unrelated to the Geoport modem. A little known fact about the Geoports is that while their nominal speed is 115 Kbps (or is it 230 Kbps?) they can supposedly do a couple megabits per second if an external clock signal is supplied. The Geoport Clock jumpers are for that external signal. I don't know if anyone ever built any hardware to take advantage of this capability. The only place I'd expect to see it would be in lab or automation equipment. Jeff Walther -- PCI-PowerMacs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
