Hi everyone,

My problem is that I have a Sony Hb700f with 2 cartridgeslots but none seems to work, I have tried several cartridges that well will work on other msx systems.
My question: is that a well know problem with this computer (or any msx) and can it be fixed because I really need those slots...

thanks in advance for replies

Erhm... maybe you should try peeking if the ribbon cable ain't broken or disconnected? Without spoiling the F700, of course

Did you visually check it? O did you check if each cable is indeed ok? It doesn't happen often, but I have had ribbon cables in which only one wire failed without much of a visual indication. I don't know the Sony model, but some cartridge connectors have solder joints on the print that might fail. Have you checked those? (if applicable)

I checked the cables electronicaly, so they are definitely ok !!!

Any chip failure that can cause this ?
