Title: GX4000 cartridge pinout
Post by: eto on 20:50, 16 November 22

The Cartridge slot pinout on the CPC Wiki confuses me more than it helps.

https://www.cpcwiki.eu/index.php/Connector:Cartridge_Slot_(CPC_Plus_only)

Based on the title, I would say this means that it's the pinout like when I am looking from above onto a GX4000. But when I compare that to the service manual or an existing cartridge, the pins should be mirrored left/right, pin 1/2 should be on the right side, and 35/36 on the left side.

Can someone either confirm, that it's wrong on the Wiki or help me to understand, what direction the diagram shows?

May be because you have to reverse the cartridge to fit it into the slot?

of course ... I looked at the schematics, looked at my GX 4000 - and did not recognise this ;-)

thanks a lot
