Does anyone have a spare serial port cover (the one that the modem/broadband adaptors use)? I, uh, kinda messed one up. Need a replacement. Money offered!
L.
Nintendo sells them. Go to Nintendo.com (http://www.nintendo.com).
They even sell replacement N64 bottom EXT covers. They sell just about everything except for replacement NES weed compartments. Drugs are bad anyway.
Never did understand why they stuck that cover on the bottom of the NES when there wasn't the EXT port there any more anyway.

If you remove the weed cover, you will see a little plastic panel on the bottom beneath the cover is connected by very short pieces of plastic. If you break the small pieces of plastic, you will be able to remove that little panel. You will then find the EXT port. You can't put the panel back on, so only break it if you really want to see the EXT port. The weed cover does a good job of hiding the hole anyway.
Back in the day when the NES ran the industry, I called up Nintendo to see about ordering documentation regarding the expansion port on the bottom. The lovely lady on the phone then yelled at me, told me I was breaking the law by removing the plastic tab that covered it, and that it was illegal for people to program the NES or to hook anything up to it that wasn't authorized by Nintendo.
I still cry every day.

LOL! That's great! So, did the feds bust down your door and confiscate your NES?

Hahahaha! :lol:
<sigh> The "good" ol' days...
I think I remember reading that there was a modem or something for the nes that plugged in the bottom, could be wrong though.
