Does anyone know where one might get a hold of 2 mm spaced (not 2,54 mm) card-
edge connectors? The Atari ST cartridge port is using that spacing, which
doesn't seem very popular.

There don't seem to be that many cartridges for it either.
The only one I have is a VT100 emulation cart.

Well, I suppose it was mostly used for dongles, but it was also rather popular
for peripherals, such as samplers, digitisers and ethernet boxes.

BSD: A psychoactive drug, popular in the 80s, probably developed at UC
Berkeley or thereabouts. Similar in many ways to the prescription-only
medication called "System V", but infinitely more useful. (Or, at least, more
fun.) The full chemical name is "Berkeley Standard Distribution".

The cart port on the st series wasn't much used at all. The only things I
can think of that used it were the MagicSac type Macintosh upgrade and
some hacks that allow you to run a Parallel port ethernet interface (the
cart port serves to provide a couple of lines the Printer port is
lacking).

There were some other products like eprom burners, clock cart (for earlier
ST no equipped with internal clocks), robot kit, digitizer, controlling a
proprietary brand of color copiers around 90-92' and of course... for ROM
based programs, one of the most popular was the VT100 cart which allowed the
ST to access VAX's and was actually cheaper then VT100's at the time.

My EPROM burner hangs off the ST cartridge port. It is really based on an
experiment board for the cart port, though. It's a nice port whenever you need
some data lines.

Iggy tipsar: Koppla aldrig en C128-transformator till en A500. ?ven om
kontakterna ser likadana ut, ligger sp?nningarna fel.
