Its actually called "The Expert Cartridge" by Trilogic.
And when you take the case off its got : "Expert ss 4" on the top of the circuit board and : "Exp.4" on the back off the circuit board. |

Did anyone ever develop a battery backup mod for these?
I have one but prefer my AR. However, if the contents were battery backed it would be more useful.... |

@Style: Haven't seen it, but it should be doable. Maybe just a couple of schottkys and a litium battery straight to Vcc on the ram?

Were there different hardware versions of this with different specs? |

Hey, that would be nice!
I'm currently bidding on an Expert.
If I get it, I'll try the mod. |
