Stor-Cart.32 schematic?

Stor-Cart.32 schematic?

2011-06-06 by Christian Brunschen

Hi all,

Since a Stor-Cart.32 is not entirely inexpensive or easy to come by at this time, does anyone have a schematic / layout (including the pinout of the connector) for these? It might be useful to have, so that it's possible to make your own.

Best wishes,

I thought of doing this too, specially since the memory is an off the shelf 
inexpensive part. You'd have to get the bodies made, tho.

Assuming the cartridge is only using a two-layer PCB (which i don't know) we 
could image it and try to make a copy.

I think I could live without necessarily having a body on the cartridge, if it was otherwise functional.

It seems that someone is already doing something similar for ESQ-1 cartridges, which I know are not quite the same but seem similar

Alas I don't have any to image, or make a copy of - hence my question.

Best wishes,
