Paul:
While you are doing all this research, perhaps you could come up with an answer I've long been asking.
What is the difference between 'auto-reset' chips and chips that need resetting? Also, if you have 'auto-reset' chips, which I think I do, can they ever be used in a way that provides reliable levels checking?
My experience with the MIS carts is that they never need any kind of re-setting, but they don't accurately read the cartridge level either.
