The data sheet I use (printed in the Transputer Databook, First Edition 
1989) indicates that pin 14 has the function HoldToGND, NOT SeparateIQ.  
However, SeparateIQ on the C011 (pin16) selects Mode 2 when connected to
GND, Mode 1 10 Mbits/s when connected to Vcc, and Mode 1 20 Mbits/s when
connected to ClockIn. 

The capacitor positive end does go to Vcc.
