Re: Converting VFX Rom Cart. to EEPROMS

2011-02-16 by synthparts

Just a friendly suggestion here but those ESQ/SQ80 carts are useful and hard to come by as they are. Why destroy one rare part to make another one? The VFX SD and SD-1 have floppy drives which is a much cheaper storage option already.
