Broken Part. Atari. Help.

Hi,

 

I'm not sure what this is. I have a box with all my mods and I just broke this (pinch it with my finger). I haven't had a chance to do anything with my mods but I was putting my retrobox link in it and I screwed this up!

 

Question:

1) What is it? I think this goes in the expansion port, right?

2) Where can I buy it?

 

See pictures

Thanks,

Can't you carefully bend the pins back in their original position? Or did one break off?

 

Edit: 1st picture, looks they are still there. And like ZuluGula said, do you need a replacement of the ECI/CART port for an XE machine right now?

I guess I could move the pins but I'm not sure how fragile some of them may be because they are bend it more than I would had like. I will try. I don't need one right now. However, I would like to have one. Are there alternative to the one that I have?

You can always buy a 2x7 angled header and a separate 2x15 angled header.

 

Edit: it won't have the heightening feet, if that's the correct word, but you can always compensate for it by other means.

That seems like one option. Thank you for giving me additional options. I still would like to get this one if I can or something like this. I at least know for sure what it was. Thanks

I would say that it takes some high soldering skills to replace it on XE motherboard. I haven't seen them going bad unless you abuse the cartridge port. I would live them for someone who really needs it. Yours can be fixed.

Who really needs this?

 

I don't understand. If they are not available or only available in small numbers, then I understand. But I'm not sure what you are trying to get with this. That I should not have two or three?

 

Thanks
