next question is how do i actually physically interface with these pins. can’t use clips because well, it’s a flat surface, and the spacing is kinda weird so any prebuilt pogo pin things are ruled out

now we check if there are any common data interfaces with 4 data lines of some description and a clock

it would really help if I could non-destructively open up one of the program cards but they are sealed shut completely

jokes aside. there's two data lines (in/out i guess), one clock, one fucked up clock, and whatever this is

If I could make a guess, the mystery pin is probably a chip select

I think I need to come up with a proper test jig, I can't get a consistent reading just holding it on the pins by hand

ordered some individual pogo pins, I’ll make a test jig with some cardboard and hotglue since I don’t have a 3D printer
