From experience, I can tell you that the NSC goes on the motherboard,
in a spot that makes it near impossible to add the memory card. (That's
why I sold my NSC chip to someone else. ;-)

There are ways to use the mouse interrupts in a //c to make a software
clock of sorts, but it means having to keep your computer on all the
time.

And even then it loses time anytime you do a disk access...

Since the problem is physical interference, you could always solder some
ribbon cable to the ROM socket and attach the NSC in a non-interfering
location.
