Just a couple of "diagnostic" questions...
 
You indicated that it's a Magic Sac I..   are you trying to run it using the
software that originally came with it..?  Or are you using a newer version of
the Magic Sac software..?      The new software won't work with the old
cartridge... (You may still be able to trade the cart in on a Sac+, call
Data Pacific and ask..  you'd be a lot happier with the new setup anyway..)
 
You can probably send the cartridge back to Data Pacific to be checked out,
but they'll probably charge you for the service.
 
Can you describe what happens (or doesn't happen) when you try to run the
Magic Sac..?
 
Lastly, have you tried your friend's Magic Sac in YOUR computer..?  It might
not be the cartridge that got toasted..!
