Just wondering how easy it is to create an eprom for the cartridge port.
I would suppose that many people would modify an existing cartridge with
a socket ... is that your experience, anyone who's done this?
As well, is there any special format for the data on the (E)PROM--magic
cookies, etc.
Also, is there any extra circuitry required for things like the acknowledge
signal to the processor, or does the "MMU" take care of this? (1040st).
