It sound strange to me too, but remember that the SA was first made for
apple and specially for the newton.

Maybe switching the SA from an acorn... How much are those machine
going nowadays? (evil grin) (crying newton)

I can't remember right now, i don't have the docs atm, but I took it
from another pins, there are plenty of those signals available.
I lifted the pins with a needle (and some heat) and soldered four wires
