Rickster8 Posted April 6, 2023 Share Posted April 6, 2023 So I was just trying to get my LTO Flash and fit it into my Intellivoice. It wasn't going easy so I did not push the issue... Is this a NO-NO? 🤷♂️ I seem to remember having this issue a while ago. I just recently got this working (LTO Flash) so I'm not gonna risk wrecking it, but not sure why the fit is sooooooo snug if it's SUPPOSED to fit.... 🙄 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MGG Posted April 6, 2023 Share Posted April 6, 2023 It fits fine in mine. Maybe your Intellivoice is a bit tight? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

carlsson Posted April 6, 2023 Share Posted April 6, 2023 Perhaps apply a thin layer of elbow grease? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's all the rage these days. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wolfy62 Posted April 6, 2023 Share Posted April 6, 2023 (edited) I believe part of the original question is,and I am curious also,is if you run the games on your LTO fFash through the Intellivoice, do you risk wiping out the games or memory on the LTO Flash? Or, in other words, is it safe to do so? Edited April 6, 2023 by wolfy62 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is much too thick and will gum up the contacts. If you have to, KY jelly is a thinner alternative. But make sure to use cinnimon flavor. Its the best! 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

carlsson Posted April 7, 2023 Share Posted April 7, 2023 It might be the case that some devices are more narrow than others. Coming from a VIC-20 background, I know that some cartridges on some computers can be very difficult to insert, and you don't want to risk damage to either. The same cartridge in another machine might work much easier. Generally we have a difference between original and cost reduced model of the machine, though I don't know if there is a such thing as a cost reduced IntelliVoice, perhaps a later batch.

The Ltoflash is designed to be compatible with Intellivoice and the ECS Computer Adapter. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The plastic outer shell goes in, it seems to be the inside of the Flash cart, the chip part if you will. It doesn't wanna go. If I cram it, it's breaking......

If you put a regular game cart in the Intellivoice, does it go in without issue? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
