On the other hand, for 4K carts I find it a lot easier--really--to burn an EPROM than load it into the SC; since there are PCB designs that will do large memory footprints, it's probably just as easy to do those as it is to use a Cuttle Cart. Once you have a PCB and a ZIF socket on it, life is really easy. That said, if someone makes a Cuttle Cart workalike, I'm *all over it*. Although I'd really be more interested in a 2600-on-FPGA solution that had an A/D converter or a serial port, and enough scratch memory that you'd get CC-like functionality built in. I know there's someone on the list, but I can't remember who, who makes PCBs that will take up to 32K ROMs. In fact, if you're reading this, please get in touch with me, because I'm back off the road for a bit and ready to buy. I know you sent me email a few months ago, but it's now backed up to offline storage because my mailbox got too large. I use the Pocket Programmer II from Intronics, and it's a wonderful tool. About $150--which is very cheap for an EPROM burner--and burns a whole lot of different EPROM types.
