pixelmischief Posted September 8, 2020 Share Posted September 8, 2020 I'm thinking about rerouting the cartridge slot on my 1200XL with a ribbon cable; about 7 inches. Will this work? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will this work? Don't see why it wouldn't, Dropcheck sells a ribbon cable cartridge port extender for the 1088XEL and also a PCB cartridge port extender for the 1200XL. The 1088XEL version has circuitry to allow a longer cable, a simple cable based extender would be ~12" maximum according to the webpage. https://www.bitsofthepast.com/?product=xlxe1088xel-cartridge-slot-extender-set https://www.bitsofthepast.com/?product=1200xl-cartridge-port-extension Edited September 8, 2020 by BillC 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However by using Dropcheck's buffered cart extension you can extend it a fairly good distance and still see reliable operation. This would also apply for the 1200XL . Edit: I don't believe there is a 1088XEL specific version of her cart extender, being universal in nature. However there are two different ribbon cable lengths that are offered via drop down selection on the order page. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
