Ok I finally found out what this cartridge bad boy is. I just needed to do a little more digging in the box of books and magazines I have.

And low and behold I found the manual. Its not a one man hack job it was an actual product that was sold called Cartridge Mater Version 2 by Radical Systems in Huntsville AL.

I just read through the manual and it was just as some of you had suggested a developer board.

Here is what is listed under the Overview of the Manual

Quote

Cartridge Maker is a programming tool that allows you to make your own cartridges. This is an important capability for the serious game designer. The hobbyist benefits from cartridge Maker by being able to backup ATARI cartridges as protection against damage to the original cartridge. Electronics hobbyist and professionals can use Cartridge maker to burn EPROMs for other computer systems, or home projects. Cartridge Maker can read and program 2716, 2532, 2732, 2732a,2564,2764, and 27128 EPROMs. Additionally, Cartridge Maker can read ROMs (the type used by ATARI in their 8K, and 16K cartridges). Cartridge Maker provides commands to:
1 - make sure an EPROM is erased
2 - burn programs into EPROM from diskette
3 - burn programs into EPROM from cassette
4 - verify that the EPROM was correctly programmed
5 - examine the contents of an EPROM or ROM
6 - copy a EPROM or ROM to diskette
7 - copy a EPROM or ROM to cassette

Cartrdige Maker can be used stand-alone (with no other software) or with DOS. The Cartridge Maker hardware is designed specifically for the ATARI COMPUTER ( 400 , 8001 600XL, 200XL, and 1200XL and plugs into the CARTRIDGE SLOT (left slot for the 800). No external power source are required. The Cartridge Maker software in in the EPROM on the board, and also on diskette.

Now that I have the manual I'm going to see if it actually works =P

Do they come with the RF? I'll offer $25 for any computer. I don't care which game, as long as it's fun!

All the Atari Computers have a built in RF cable you will just need to pick up a phono to F connector to hook it up to a modern tv for around $3 like this one Phono to F Coaxial Connector eBay Auction -- Item Number: 110549943114.

Cant make no promises about the game being fun =P But Im sure they all are

Sent you a PM
