Title: Turbo chip DATA
Post by: YANDMAN on 10/22/2014, 10:20 AM
I work for an engineering company and we just received a data upgrade for a machine and it came loaded on a Turbo Chip and then i find out the machine obviously has  a card slot.

Weird media for 2104 but interesting someone still makes them.

The connector is more like a Sega Card than Turbob, but 'tis cool nonetheless.  What kinda hardware is it for?

We build largely race engines or just fast engines for various vehicles and this data card is for a emissions tester.

Following up on Necro's comment...

Do you have a Sega Card to compare it to?

I suggest inserting Spy vs. Spy into the engine currently being developed.

Interestingly, though this looks more like a Sega Card/MyCard, it's got 38 pins just like a HuCard.  Sega Card had 35 pins.  It's the wackiest hybrid card ever... or just some proprietary thing someone made.  Now, if they sell replacement connectors for the device that is used to read said card, I would be very interested...
