I'm not quite clear on this... when I power up, all I get is the pak's 
DELUXE RS-232 PROGRAM PAK message. The OK prompt never appears. I can't 
type anything (at least nothing that appears on the screen).

So that'd be the clock. It appears to be tied to the CART line as well 
on my board, by a jumper wire on the other side. I made sure it was 
connected with a big line of solder extending from the card edge pad to 
the trace. Still no dice.

Cut on mine as well. In fact, that seemed to be where the most damage 
was, right near that trace. I tried soldering that as well, but it 
didn't help.
