other thing I was thinking of was to solder to the exposed pins on the

This is what I was planning to do with my uIEC sometime - install it
inside my VIC-20 as an internal device #10, but keep the external IEC
port so I can still use external drives at the same time.
In theory, this should work fine - it would be no different than using
an IEC "Y" splitter cable (which do exist). But I haven't tried it.
Could someone with more electronics knowledge comment?
