+x=usr(1536) Posted August 2, 2022 Share Posted August 2, 2022 As per the subject: is anyone aware of a PCB that acts as a breakout board for the cartridge port pins on a 5200? This is a case where it would definitely be preferable to use something designed for the purpose as opposed to hacking up an existing cart. I've looked everywhere I can reasonably think of, and don't seem to be having any luck turning one up.

There are a few variants of that one out there, but what I'm looking for is more akin to something like this: Don't care if it has a female port on the end or not - in fact, being able to solder on my own pin headers in place of the cartridge port would be just fine. All I really need is a way for the pins be easily accessible by external hardware.
