       | Okay, that's just neat.

       | The wannabe electronic engineer in me cringes at all those wires
       | connecting the 72-pin edge connector on the NES mobo to the
       | 72-pin slot connector that receives the cartridge. At the signal
       | speeds involved, any stray inductance and capacitance from such a
       | setup probably doesn't matter. But, IMO, it would still be better
       | to more directly connect the edge connector to the perf board,
       | and then use the perf board itself for a shorter and more
       | consistent wiring scheme. Or better yet, now that you know the
       | spacing, draw up a mask and etch your own board. Such will reduce
       | the likelihood of frustrating intermittent electrical gremlins in
       | the future.

       | So they made the wires longer and changed a switch?
