I don't like the extra homebrew cart idea, at least not one as tiny as
this. I mean, Jeez, it's 1997. I only like the Supercharger idea because
no hacking is required. There are still plenty of them around.
And as for 8-bit machines serving the Supercharger, it's definitely
possible. The Apple II was used to encode Starpath audio originally. You
just have to learn how to drive the regular audio hardware of 8-bit
machines instead of forcing them to play .WAVs (which they normally can't
do very well, 8-bit Atari would only be 4-bit 5khz or something).
