Configuration Options:

The Cynthcart is available in TWO different configurations:

Board with the EPROM installed in a socket
Board with the EPROM soldered directly to the board (no socket)
Without a socket, you can put your Cynthcart into a standard Commodore 64 cartridge shell (the ones made by Commodore). With a socket installed on the Cynthcart, the board will NOT fit in a standard Commodore 64 cartridge without first cutting a hole in the top of the cartridge shell. If you opt for a board with a socket, your Cynthcart can easily be upgraded when new versions of the Cynthcart software are available. Please be sure to select above which configuration you wish to purchase.

The Cynthcart also includes a manual written by Paul Slocum. Be sure to check out Paul's Synthcart for the Atari 2600 while you're here!
