The invention features a circuit card for use with a computer system having a card slot electrically connected to a bus. The card slot has electrical contacts corresponding to lines of the bus. The circuit card has a first pin positioned to extend into the card slot when the card is inserted into the slot and contact a first electrical contact of the slot corresponding to a communication line of the bus. The circuit card also has a second pin positioned to extend into the card slot when the card is inserted into the slot and contact a second electrical contact of the slot corresponding to a clock line of the bus before the first pin contacts the first electrical contact.
