[Coco] SuperPak Cartridge... coming soon.

[Al Hartman]

A perfect cart to make like this would be the Tandy Coco Diagnostics in one 
bank, and the Saturn RAM Checker (which I have, and have been meaning to 
dump the EPROM from) in the other - to make a nice Coco Diag Cartridge.

Yeah, the $25 would include what I would want for building them, and 
logistics (others may vary).
If the cases could be had for $5, $30 plus shipping wouldn’t be too bad.

Of course there’s whatever the software author would want too, so I guess 
they
wouldn’t be too cheap, no.  That’s an 8MB chip though, so multiple titles if 
you wanted.

If someone were to write a nice menu system, with both classic and new 
titles on the cart,
it might be worth $50 a piece.

It really looks like all the pieces are here for some group members to pull 
together and
produce a nice multi-cart.  Something you see in other retro computer 
groups.
Just saying.  :)
