Well, you can call Jasmine at 415-282-1111 and order some.  This is
the first I've heard that "Jasmine seems to have died," so I just
called them on the phone and confirmed that they are still selling the
MegaDrive and cartridges for it.  Sorry, I didn't ask for current
prices.

If you don't want to buy the cartridges from Jasmine, note that the
mechanism for the MegaDrive is made by Data Technologies Corporation
(DTC).  You can probably use cartridges sold by anybody who OEMs the
same mechanism or the substantially similar Kodak drive.

(Additional grist for the rumor mill: The first person I asked to
speak with "will be back in a couple of days."  He's been out of the
office nearly two months now!  The second person I asked for "no
longer works here."  And MacWEEK has a nearly weekly update on
Jasmine's various lawsuits...)
