 no you don't.  the EOMA-68-compliant PCB MiniEngineeringBoard does
*NOT* use those two connectors.

>(they are not in the form factor of pcmcia).

 that's correct.  that's why you don't need to know where they are.
only people creating non-EOMA-68-compliant PCBs need to know where
those are.

 there isn't one.  you'll need an ssh key (that's why it's git+ssh).
use the HTTP git clone url initially.
