Hi Jason,
I can't precisely identify what you have but I've got a navarone cartridge
connector somewhere in my collection. They were a small company and
the connector I have allow you to have 3 cartridges connected to the TI99/4a
at once. there was a switch to select the cartridge that you wanted to be
active and a reset button if I remember correctly. This allow you to
switch cartridges *without* reseting the computer or putting too much
wear on your cartridges. This was very useful in certain circumstances
such as when using the assembler cartridge. You wolld use it in this
way to examine the workings of ther cartridges.
Maybe your device serves a somewhat similar function.
