	The Translator disk I have, which is called "The XL Fix" has a menu
	of three options - boot a Basic program off disk, boot a machine
	language program off disk, and boot a cartridge. The 3 cartridges I
	own run fine on my XL, so I've never tried the catridge option to
	see how it worked...

How is that supposed to work?  Are you supposed to plug the cartridge
into the slot with the computer already running?  I didn't think that
was safe.  But if you power up with the cartridge in the slot, it will
boot off the cartridge and not the disk.
