Hello there,

Thanks for your confirmation I took the time to check and here it is :
  • positive lead to GND / negative lead to pinX = 0,540v
  • negative lead to +5V / positive lead to pinX = 0,640v
The results were the same for pins 6, 7 and 8. (and also for pin 9 which is PRG-A0 address)
Hopefully this will "make sense" and somehow help you out in the understanding of these pins...

Well, it confirms they're real pins - they're wire-bonded to something inside. My only guess is that they might be for cart RAM?
