I much prefer the idea of a 4-in-1 or an 8-in-1 with a 2 or 3 > switch dip. Over that I prefer a menu-driven cart! :) Yes, but if you made your own circuit boards, and molded your own carts, you could sell two games for not much more, if any more, than a single game. In theory, you could attach both ends to just one 8K chip to make two 4K games. How much of this is practical, I don't know. -- Archives (includes files) at http://www.biglist.com/lists/stella/archives/ Unsub & more at http://www.biglist.com/lists/stella/stella.html Don't post pirate BINs to Stellalist.
