[comp.sys.atari.8bit] Need catridge pinout information

markh@cvedc.UUCP (Mark Holm) (12/21/88)

I am not sure if this is the place to post this, but it is the closest
catagories that I could find.

A couple of years ago, I bought an atari 5200 when it was the "best" game
system that they put out at the time. They promptly discontinued the unit
and came out with the 7800. At one time an adapter was made to run 2600
cartridges on the 5200, so I know it is possible to get new games (albeit
lower quality graphics).

What I would like to know is that adapter still available (and will it
work with 7800 cartridges) or better still what is the pinout for the
edgecards of the cartridges for the 2600, 5200, and the 7800.

Is there any interest in addons for this game? Or am I the only one
who hung on to one? Are there still suppliers of game cartridges for
the 5200?

Please send replys to the address below as I do not normally read these
news groups.
