			What can I do with the expansion port on the back of the SMS 1?

			hook a second master system to it and call it a 16x. uhmmm, wasn't there another thread to this effect posted rather recently?

			Aside from the answer I've given to you in the other thread (what was the point of starting a second thread about it?) the only limit is your imagination. You could design and build a cart copier, printer interface, hard drive interface, CD-ROM interface - any kind of peripheral you want, really. All of the necessary bus signals are available on the connector, as I've already said it's just a "male" cartridge slot. There's lots of technical and programming info on the SMS at the SMS Power... site and on Charles MacDonald's... page. I suggest you start there if you're serious. Mike

			Wouldnt there be a way to hook in a hard drive + power supply to the expansion port to run rom images off the drive?

			yeah, probably. if you could run copiers and stuff out of it then I am sure you could do that. ask arakon and excyber. They should know.
