Hi,
I know, that in early days there was an ROM-Disk-Modul wich was working
with bankswitching because the original Romport allows only 128K of
Roms, there was a big board with 16 EPROM Banks for 4 Meg of Memorys,
the driver software did the bankswiching, so taht the right ROMs are
switched into the 128k Adress. I am looking for something like that! The
"normal" Cardridge can only handle 128k. If there is someone who is into
hardware-design like me, so please contact me! By the way, sorry for
this a bit off-topic (doesnt has much do do with steem).
regards, Wolfram.

I have a device called megadisk, which is a cartridge device with 1 MB
ram=20
which could be used as a RAM-disk. These devices were sold up to 4 MB.
It=20
also has a clock and external power supply, so the contents would stay=20
there after powerdown. Before I bought a harddisk I loaded programs from
there, or I used it as temporary storage.
