Technical information about the Robcom TurboTool+ cartridge:
It is possible to build your own Robcom TurboTool+ cartridge replica with the information in the link below. I did spend hours and hours making and checking the PCB and schematic, but I can't guarantee that the drawings are perfect. If you build a Robcom TurboTool+ cartridge replica with this information, it is on your own risk. But if you are successful in building a replica, let me know!
