A Killy Clip contacts all 64 pins of a 68000 processor.

The purpose is to trap addresses which may be used for "memory  
mapped" I/O, such as a SCSI port.

Additional RAM is also possible, but this requires two additional  
wires to be connected to the mobo.

I have a daughter card with such a clip which has extra RAM and a  
later 680x0. A 68020, perhaps. Also a math coprocessor.
