I mean grounded, in the sence any pins short together, by swarf or by contact. (not grinded lol)
I have to admit my friend, that i am thinking outside the box on this one, the only thing that I know of (and it was rare AFAIK) that would work on the left hand populated clock ports was infact a CBM RTC, if i am not mistaken CBM only ever manufactured lefthand populated clockports with RTC's on them.
I could be wrong, but that what i managed to pick up being an A1200 nutt for the past 14 years
