Sorry, yeah. :lol: I totally spaced on what the topic was even asking... It looks like an Atari cart slot... but not really? I couldn't imagine why they would have one.

Doesn't have enough pins to be a Genesis, SNES, Nintendo, or any other

I know..Why I'm totally baffled as to why its there. if it was a manufactures cartridge or way of adding something you'd think it would be inside and not visible..? Could it be an atari or something slot?
