Someone did a 64k cart for it too, don't ask me how. I expanded my homebrew
32K to 64K and battery-backed one of the banks for storage of my favourite
progs ala the Atari2600 RAM cart in Disc=overy.
Something I'm working on is battery-backing the 3K expansion I added so I can
keep some utilities like PRLINK's prserver ready to go, diskless computing. :)
