With almost the same modification needed for the 10000 carts 
the 9800 carts can be refilled. I have taken one apart and the 
method works. There's one problem with the chips though, the 
MIS resetter fails to reset all the cart chips. Sometimes it 
works, sometimes not. There's a resetter on order from another 
source that may do the trick. At least the seller confirmed 
that it worked on 9800 carts. Could be that when the cart goes 
really empty the chip is destroyed by a shortcut load. That 
protection method has been used before on cart chips. Pure 
speculation though. If so we will get auto reset chips.
