Steve,
>Do you know whether the resetter requires modification for the 2200 carts?
I have yet to see get my hands on any of the new 2200 carts. All I did for
the C86 carts was modify the plastic resetter guide so that the chip
contacts hit the resetter pins. So, when you get some, just see if they are
lining up.
