What are the expansion port specs (if applicable) of an Atari ST?
Research on the internet turned up info about a cartridge port expander
made to connect a scanner to an ST via a Navarone Cartridge Interface
(ref:) http://www.ataricentral.com/wwwboard/messages/366.html
This, I'm not sure about. I have one Atari ST thing -- a Happy Computers disk
interface box of some sort. I don't have an ST, but the card-edge connector on
this disk thing is narrower than the slot on the Navarone cartridge.
Navarone apparently made stuff for the TI99. I wonder
if it is a
pass-thru cart for the side connector of a TI99, where the speech module
connects to (I forget if the port is male or female)? Or, even though it
may not be as wide as a regular TI cart, does it slide into the front
cartridge connector anyhow and possibly be used for copying cartridges?
I checked with a friend about the cartridge slot on a TI99/4A -- it has a
40-pin connector, not a 44-pin provided by the Navarone thingy.
Hmmm...
