Re: Converting VFX Rom Cart. to EEPROMS

2011-02-16 by Franz Schiller

Hi Doug,
I think that's interesting because, I see ESQ carts all the time, and I think I have about 8 of them; however, I don't have a single one for my VFX-SD. When they do show up, they're wickedly expensive. As an aside, the last time I tried to purchase VFX carts of the fleabay, I got into a serious conflict with the seller that went on for months (they eventually found in my favor).

Carts are much easier to use, in terms of workflow. If you leave a cartridge in all the time, its like a memory expansion; rather than, having to overwrite frequently to load up floppies.

I would very gladly trade anyone here one my ESQ carts for a VFX RAM cart.

Take care!
-Patrick
