Well, that's a little more complicated in terms of component layout.
Especially >compact< layout. A few days, I'd say. But if there's demand
here then let me know, and I'll do it and get back to you.
BTW, this might be a moot point (in a few months). The Megacart is up and
running. I have a modified version of Nick's playfield demo running out of
it. The only show stopper is the development kit (Flash programmer). I'm
working on that now. But a standard 16K cart would be a good stop gap measure
until that's ready...
