    Have you tried booting with the Commodore key held down? That should
    force the computer into 64 mode, resolving any contention about the boot sequence. My magic voice cartridge would only work this way (on the 128).

    *heh* I suppose I should have mentioned I also tried the C= key trick too.
    No dice. I think it's just plain and simply that these carts don't fit no matter how hard I try to shove them in. Anyone have a spare expander? :)

    Have you tried removing the cart's case an inserting the plain circuit if that doesn't damage the cart?

    "Damage the cart" being the key phrase here, no I haven't. I paid a
    small premium to get some of these carts with nice labels, let alone to
    have them imported from the UK, so I have no interest in ruining them
    by trying to take them apart. If I can get a cart expander or find some
    other kludge to make them work without taking them apart I will, else-
    -wise they'll just sit in a plastic snap-top tub gathering little dust.

    but can that actually be that they do not fit into cartridge port to make contact? I think no one would have bought them back then, would one?
