In case you did not go to the West Coast Computer Faire, here is some more
information about the MacCartridge.  It was displayed at the faire
by the developers and it looked pretty good.  I can't remeber the name
of the company, but I have it on a flyer and will send that along tomorrow.
The two guys who made the thing and wrote the software said they felt there
was a 50-50 chance that Apple would approve of their product and let them
produce it, but I think that is a little too optimistic.  They also
said the price would probably be $50 over the cost of the ROMs ($180).
They said it had worked with MacPaint, MacWrite, and Microsoft BASIC, but
that it does not work with FatBits in MacPaint.  I don't remember too
much else of what they said, but there was a lot of interest in their
booth.

I'll post the address of the company tomorrow.
