When I go to that location with either Communicator or Explorer all I get
is a Dot Registrar.com site. Maybe you could email me the pics.

Since my IIcs are the original one, would I be right in guessing that
that 
connector was for memory memory expansion? Anyways that's a fairly old
card 
that would have come out when the original IIc was the only version and
it 
didn't have a connector there.

I'm not ready to do a pdf of that manual but I can scan and I can scan
the 
installation pages and email them to you. They'd be fairly large jpegs though.
The installation pages have a number of graphics which might be of help.
