    Hi!


    The wiki states that the Clockport on the ACA-1233n: "can either take an RTC module, or the RapidRoad USB host controller"


    Although the statement is super clear, I still want to verify: Might other clock-port devices work(not meaning supported)?


    Reason I'm asking is that I'm thinking of adding a A314(_if_ if fits)


    IF technically compatible with other clock port devices(via extension cable or not), could the speed increase of the ACA-1233n clockport over the original(motherboard) clockport(+55% for the RapidRoad) be available available for other devices?

    Changed the title of the thread from “ACA-1233n Lockport” to “ACA-1233n Clockport”.

    The speed increase comes from using a different chip select signal, resulting in a different address to be used by the drivers. So technically, the card would ahve to support the higher speed, but the drivers would also have to have a code path to look for the card at that spot in memory.


    You'll have to talk to the vendor of the product you want to connect there.
