Reading the msx technical data book, the cardridge size which enter the msx must be 109mm x 16.8mm.
When i'm measuring the actual cardridge size for the one i've got over here, i do find out that the sizes go up to 109.4mm x 17.6mm ?
It seem's that the most cardridge are somewhat thicker then they should be Question

Is their somewhere a better specification on this item ?

I sure of that but it's kind of strange that even Konami wasn't making cartridges that are acourding to the msx specification ! It's probarly also the reason that those carts where very hart to insert in one of the Philips 82xx serie computers  Wink
 

I will just make that cardridge slot somewhat bigger so carts will fit easially Smile2
