Close. :) The Coleco cartridge port simply contains the address and data busses, as well as the chip select lines. The Coleco EXPANSION port, a separate port on the front of the machine, contains the external audio and video in, as well as support for RAM expansion or even BIOS/IO replacement. Neat port when you get down to it. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: PGP 6.0.2 iQA/AwUBNtnAW5ZUGHTquuimEQKNjgCgqpzAJWYM99BzV2u11IPy4Vo6+OYAoL54 dspgk3JK1AFEzHxt2kA+3qRv =xjtM -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- Archives (includes files) at http://www.biglist.com/lists/stella/archives/ Unsub & more at http://www.biglist.com/lists/stella/
