Hi.

Does anyone know the pin-pitch of the cartridge port, and how
long/wide the fingers should be for a good contact?

Thanks,
Duncan.

From memory - 2.54mm

8mm long fingers will be OK


BTW What are you making ?

I guessed it might be 0.1 inches - thanks.

Nothing exciting I'm afraid I'm just making myself a multicart using
an Atmel microcontroller and a multi-media card.

I know a MMC will have way too much room on it, but I'm planning on
using the project to learn how to access such a card, and use this
particular microcontroller (I've never used an Atmel before).

Thanks,
Duncan.
