MSX FLEX project

Printed the cases. They will look better in white plastic, but I keep the transparent one as an option.

I'm in for one.

Nice work. Just wanted to point out that there may also be some people interested in a version they can use with the MSX Expansion bus on certain machines

Looking at the pictures, I think your existing version may just fit to these machines in any case, as it seems you have an 50-pin IDC connector on the top of the MSX Cartridge? So the only issue would be for those systems with two polarizing keys, which will have to remove the single key to fit it.

Or something to substitute the Yamaha CA-01, which also is hard to get

Seems that the 50-pin extender module has a problem. It looks like a few cartridges start to glitch when connected to the extender. So far I identified 4 cartridges (out of 20+ that I have) that have problems: MMM cartridge (RAM expansion), our IDE-FDD controller and 2 home-made flash cartridges with Konami mapper (similar to what Eric sells). Everything else, including Carnivore2, SFG, home-made cartridges with ASCII mapper, original game cartridges, simple cartridges (up to 64kb) work without problems.

Today I was testing the 50-pin extender with the SVI-728's expansion bus. I had to install an extra 50-pin connector on the cable because on my main connector the key was reversed.

Interestingly enough that MMM and IDE-FDD cartridges worked correctly with the extender on this computer. But the Konami cartridges still had glitches. If anyone has thoughts on why the glitches with some cartridges happen, please share them here, thanks.

Another interesting fact is that the "brother" of those 2 Konami cartridges works without a problem. Also the glitches are different when the extender is used in different slots of my Yamaha computer. I tried pulling the data bus to +5v via resistors (as it's done in some Yamaha's external devices), but that didn't have any effect. I also tried to isolate the CLK signal from the data signals, but it didn't work either.

Tried 2 capacitors (100nf + 10uF) between GND and +5V on both ends. Nothing changed.
Went through all signals with 2-channel oscilloscope, measured the signals on the slot and on the end of the extender - almost identical readings.
Next I will try pulling the data bus to GND with 10k and 1k resistors like it was done on some slot extenders.
