Issue connecting directly to cartridge port

Hi there

Due to a manufacturing defect the PCB directly under my C64's expansion port is slightly too wide. This means I am unable to insert a cartridge that has a plastic shell into it (the plastic case cannot fit over the PCB). I therefore have to remove the case of any cart I want to use.

I'm interested in buying the Chameleon to use in cartridge mode but don't want to use it out of it's nice yellow shell. I've also read that it's incompatible with any extender tech.

Am I out of luck? I have a bare PCB mini x-pander for use with any cart where I don't want to remove it's shell. Sounds like I won't be able to do this for the Chameleon?

Thanks for any suggestions you can give

Heh, I've actually thought about cutting or filing the edges in the past. Started reading about fibreglass dust etc and got scared of doing it!

It's only a couple of millimetres on either side. Maybe I should just go for it!

Ok, I'm going to give it a shot! Thanks for the advice

Ah, yeah. I filed it this morning actually - didn't see this in time. At least I can put cartridges into the computer now though
