Yes, definitely.

To start out, if enough people make noises about it, I'll post (somehow...)
my schematic for the LaserJet font cartridges.  I took one apart and traced
it out.  It's basically just some EPROMs with a bit of interface logic.
(The reason I'm hesitating a bit is that getting it into machine-readable
form is a hassle, and having a spec for the cartridge connector would be
better -- you can't tell from the cartridge whether the slot has other
capabilities that a ROM cartridge doesn't use.)
