Thank you guys for the help last night - I just need a kick in the pants
to get going on the Arduinoboy / LSDJ stuff.
This morning I started reading on how to get LSDJ on a cartridge, which is
pretty involved, I found directions on how to make a flashable cartridge
using a normal cartridge, and an interface from the cart to the computer
involving an ATmega 8515.

I'm reading the spec right now but was wondering if any of you had some info.

Cameron,

The 8515 is one of the megas that has an external memory buss which is why it is good for this app, the "programmer" uses the cartridge as memory which greatly simplifies the design.

The mega162 and most of the 64-100 pin parts do as well.

Its interesting that the arduinoboy seems more midi i/o than "boy" part (3 pins directly to the cable). Mebby I will have to pull the quix cartraige out of my gameboy.
