Well, I have tried to use the Express Cart, I assume it works, I cannot get it to work. In fact with the cartridge as I have it I cannot get it to slot into any machine I have. Be it 800xl or 800 etc..
I am open to suggestions.. if you read the express cart thread, I have tried a bunch of stuff. I cannot run it in the 800xl without the cart around it, for fear of shorting things out, But no matter all the Jiggering I try - and I tried for over 20mins tonight.. I cannot get it to slot in. why? cannot say.. there is really nothing holding the board into the case, so maybe my attempts to get it is cocking it? shifting it? I dont know. On my 800 I put it in without a case.. it will boot but only to a loading config file, and nothing more.
SO if anyone wants it. I was trying to support and be involved in the community, but for the amount I use my 8-bit to bbs - this is wAAY too much work. If its pop it in and go.. great.. this is so much frustration.
I'll buy it from ya if that's what you're looking for.
Honestly, it's "ok" and I'm kinda nostalgic for it from all my early years with 1030 Express!
But I'd probably re-flash it with the diamond cart for some experiments/dev projects I've been playing around with.
(Well, probably re-flash one of the others without a case, since I'm using it with the 1200xl's with a cart extender so it's not an issue)... Though I'll probably toss the case and get one from another vendor if it's that problematic.
Either way, I'm up for taking it off your hands if you like... you know my email.
