[Coco] 32K carts?

[Joe]

That is interesting. I wonder now if all the 32K images floating around the 
net are backward like that.
When I was working on getting these running I jut assumed the images were 
correct and my MMU emulation was off. now I'm not sure. I've got a real 
Rampage! cart. Does anyone know if the chip inside it is pin compatible with 
a 27256. I'll try to pry it out and read it on an external Eprom programmer.
