   Wow, I didn't know that existed at all!  But it took up a slot in the   
   motherboard.   
      
   I had made a number of boards for friends that sat on the HD cable for my   
   Model II.  One was a clock board.  I just got tired or setting the date and   
   time all the time on every boot.  I did that because I was short of slots.   
   4 original Model II cards, a graphics card, the HDC card, and then 68K and   
   Memory card filled it up.   
      
   Another was a PC bus card that you could plug in a T1000 mouse with clock   
   callender (or actually ANY PC card, as long as it used every other IO   
   address)  There was actually support for it hidden in the tar disk set for   
   Xenix.  The first one I made actually let the T2000 mouse board work on my   
   Model II, but then I ended up making a lot of them that worked on the PC bus   
   since I could get T1000 mouse boards pretty easy.
