Has anyone ever thought about the possibility of adding a cartridge device to the oric-1/atmos? The old atari 8-bits (also 6502 based) had them (among others) and today, people are doing amazing things with them see http://www.atarimax.com
I'm thinking that this would be more than just a fast disk to load software from, they could also act as gateways to other devices (ethernet/usb etc - this is what they are doing in atari land). The carts could also be programmed from your pc. We could probably use these existing atari carts (just re-flashed with whatever oric-specific software that is required)
If they could plug into the expansion port we would also get access to our oric's full 64K (take away a few K for a bootloader/driver). Maybe could also be used as additional RAM expansion (above 64K)
So, hardware guys, what do you think?
