Re: [Digital BW] Re: Beating the chips on a 1280

2001-11-13 by Todd Flashner

Thanks Martin and Jerry. At least I know the nomorecarts will do it if I
choose to go that route.

I know there are a lot of 1280 users out there, are any of you using
something other than nomorecarts to bust the chips? I'd like to save a rupee
or two if an alternative system is good. Anybody using carts with third
party inks?
