er you mean suncom don't you

[carmel_andrews]

quite right JBJ... but the name definately had sun in it... didn't like the damn things anyway, no where near as robust and as longlasting as atari cx40 jobbies

I just the the usb 128-in-1 for the 5200, so this might no be so far fetched.

Cool Steve!!

By the way it really doesnt need to be 128 in 1, it could be a 256 in 1 if that makes it easier and keeps cost down Im just looking forward to having a usb multicart for the computer period!

Thanks, Eric

Don't know what kind of Suncom sticks you had but their slick sticks are not only one of the best, but one of them will outlast 20 CX40s with ease. They're comfortable, super responsive and damn near indestructable.

I used to have one of those, and what you say seemed true, but I do recall having to open it up on several occasions and cleaning tarnish off the metal contacts. IIRC.
