  After reading the first post in this thread, my roommate and I decided
to pop open a couple cartridges.. just to see what was inside. Two
questions have arisen:

  1. Exactly what is this 40-pin DIP? Too many pins for a ROM, I would
think. That's all that was in the cartridges.

  2. How come the Electronic Arts cartridges have those yellow tabs on
the sides? They can be taken out, and don't serve ANY purpose at all.
