I am upgrading some components in my Tandy 1000 SL and wanted to make sure I am getting the right stuff.
First of all, I am getting a Dallas Clock Smartwatch Chip for it (I am adding the LoTech Compact Flash Adapter / Card), and wanted to know the right one to get? is the 1216E the right one, no matter the specs of the chip otherwise? I have seen mentions of 64K - 240K RAM or 240K - 1 M RAM listed on ebay, with the chips and with my Tandy having 640K installed, would I get the 240K -1M version or does it not matter?
Or, what is the process (if possible) to use this Clock Chip - http://www.jameco.com/1/1/25731-ds12887-ds1287-real-time-clock.html - and install it in the 1000SL? I have heard of a "piggy back process" but dont know the details on that.
Second, I am looking for a Floppy extender cable to add the 3 1/2" option to the case, like the one in vwestlife's video at the 4:05 mark:

Anyone know a good place to get one or something like it that will work?
