In my earlier post, I mentioned that I can get *new* 2732 circuit boards made
for about $1.50. I can design the board in a couple of hours and have protos
(lower quantiy = higher price) in 2 days.
Wiring and mounting an inverter on a used ROM card sucks, but not as bad as
dealing with the old ROM. With a new board, it's about a minute to stuff the
chips. If I were going to make my own carts, this is definitely the route
I'd take.
