After pulling out my metric ruler with the little 3D dinosaurs on it (REALLY!), I saw with my own four eyes that the pin spacing is 2mm. It's a good thing that I don't work for NASA. I'm getting a sample from a company that I've been sworn not to mention (because they don't want "thousands of people to call for one piece"), it's a 4x1 2mm connector, and if it works properly, I will look into a quantity order (hopefully I don't have to buy a 1000 of them at a buck apiece). I need a few for myself and would be willing to send the others out. I'll report back on this as soon as possible. By the way, I know I've asked this before but does anyone know the pin-outs of the PORT 1 & 2 connectors or where I can find this out. I do have the EPSON pinouts for their cards (they're buried somewhere in my apartment and I'll post them as soon as possible) and I hope that they match. The thing about using another RAM or ROM card is that it must be able to operate at ???? to 4.5 volts ( "????" being a value that I don't know) rather than 5 to 6 volts. Sincerely, EUG :-)
