  • Cartridge Expanders, Ultimate-1541-II, Cynthcart, Datel Midi

    From Mike Horgan@3:770/3 to All on Friday, November 29, 2019 11:23:51
    Hi There,

    I'd like to be able to use a Datel Midi interface cartridge alongside an Ultimate-1541-II for cynthcart.

    It appears cynthcart's prg ought to be able to run from the U-1541, but I suppose it could alternatively be a third cartridge.

    I'm evaluating either the X-Pander 3 from RETRO innovations, or the Mini X-Pander+ by Arkanix Labs.

    My preference would be:
    U-1541 (running cynthcart.prg)
    Datel Midi cartridge
    on the Mini X-Pander

    -or-

    U-1541 (running cynthcart.prg)
    Datel Midi cartridge
    on the X-Pander 3

    Alternatively:
    U-1541 (switched off, but plugged in)
    Cynthcart cartridge
    Datel Midi cartridge
    on the X-Pander 3

    I'm wondering if anyone can offer experience or rationale for why any of the above will/won't work.

    Cheers!
