Hi There,

I'd like to be able to use a Datel Midi interface cartridge alongside an
Ultimate-1541-II for cynthcart.

It appears cynthcart's prg ought to be able to run from the U-1541, but I
suppose it could alternatively be a third cartridge.

I'm evaluating either the X-Pander 3 from RETRO innovations, or the Mini
X-Pander+ by Arkanix Labs.

My preference would be:
U-1541 (running cynthcart.prg)
Datel Midi cartridge
on the Mini X-Pander

-or-

U-1541 (running cynthcart.prg)
Datel Midi cartridge
on the X-Pander 3

Alternatively:
U-1541 (switched off, but plugged in)
Cynthcart cartridge
Datel Midi cartridge
on the X-Pander 3

I'm wondering if anyone can offer experience or rationale for why any of the
above will/won't work.

Cheers!
