    Greetings.

    I recently bought a special edition Silversurfer from you and would like to clarify some doubts.


    I have the Buddha connected to a Z IV, which clock port is more recommended, in the same Buddha or directly to the clock port 0 of the Z IV?


    Will the device appear in the early startup?


    I understand that the red wire of these devices connect to the outside of the Buddha, away from the Zorro connector.

    I guess it's the one marked 1 on the Z IV.


    I want to use the serial port with a Wacom tablet, in the driver the device can be easily configured, on the other hand I don't think I can use my MIDI device because the programs that I use seem to use only the original serial port because I can't find where to configure the type of device.


    Thanks for your attention.

    Any clock port will work. The speed of the serial connection won't change.


    Please mond that there is a "1" marking on the clock ports of the ZIV board, and that is NOT where the red marker of a cable will go. It is a common misconception that a clock port has a "pin one" - numbering on the clock port starts at 19, and ends at 40. The red marker of a cable for an iComp products goes to pin#40. So from a safety point of view, you should probably choose the Buddha clock port, as you have a nice picture in our Wiki that shows the correct orientation of the clock port cable. I believe we don't have that for the Z-IV board.

    Thank you very much. I'll try the Bhudda port at least until I find a Z IV schematic that says what that number 1 means.

    Thank you very much for your attention.

    There is no public Z-IV schematic. The #1 designation really means #19. I was involved in that design back then; the idea of splitting the clock port into four was mine, but I didn't do the board design.
