Normally,  the game adapter is plugged into a 62-pin connector on
the   MegaPlus  II  board,   then  fastened  at  the  top  via  a
standoff.

This  conflict will require the user to remove  the standoff,  or
"stud",  that  fastens the game adapter to the MegaPlus II.   The
two  boards,  therefore,  being fastened at the 62 pin  connector
only.  Tests show this is a plausible solution.

The revision ID is located at the leftmost end of the board  near
the center.
