They kept the cassette port, but got rid of the User port? The User port is where all the good stuff goes. They could have put the Ethernet and other new stuff on the left side where there's plenty of room.

Not sure why, they have header pins for the user port and then an adapter if you want to use things that require the original edge connector. I'm guessing (although I'm not sure what those other chips on the adapter do) you could also connect directly to the header for new stuff. https://www.commodore.net/product-page/u64-userport-adapter https://www.commodore.net/product-page/u64-userport-adapter

Was it the user port or cartridge port where we'd ground the reset line with a paperclip to reset the C64? I can't remember.

  They both have one: https://archive.org/details/commodore-64-manual-en-1982/page/142/mode/2up https://archive.org/details/commodore-64-manual-en-1982/page... On the user port I managed to short 5V to GND instead :'(
