The expansion port was never used.

I know, but i figured someone has done something with it. I think it would be cool to create a beowulf cluster of NES's just to do it.

IIRC it's possible to send the NMI opcode to the NES over the exp. port and pause any game.

making an fds work on it would be cool

All you have to do to make a fds work on it is disable the lockout chip, get a family converter, and hook the 72 pin side to a 72 pin cardadge, and put it in the cart slot, and put a 60 pin cardedge connector on the 60 pin side. Then hook up a FDS to it. <_<

Well, the problem is that the FDS fancy exteneded audio would not work, but with my idea the exteneded audio could work just fine.
