I'm kicking myself for not picking up a Dragon 64 at the Midwest Gaming 
Classic in 2014.  Guy had NIB units, and I was being wishy washy about 
it.  Maybe he'll be back this year.  Is $60 too much for one?

Looking at the pic you sent, it'd be nice to understand how much room 
the bolt takes up.  As it stands right now, it looks like carts with the 
plated "ground ears" would not fit, like Kip's EPROM or the FDC 
controller.  The angled tabs look OK, but the grounding pads look to 
interfere with the bolts.

Gene sent me a pic of a cart with ears and grounding tabs.  Not sure 
what it was.  gene?
