The best cartridge I had had an NMI button and an assembler built in. Great for inspecting games mid-run, and overall learning assembly.
Vic-20 people have the "Penultimate Cartridge" and it adds RAM and extended BASIC and a bunch of other cool shit, including most of the old software. I think the Commodore64 folks have an SD-card solution. And any system that could handle a standard floppy disk drive can mount a Gotek. The Tandy Coco folks have their CocoSDC and the MC-10/Alice folks have the MCX-32 and MCX-128.
2022 is the best time to get into 8-bit computers!
Been wanting to pick up that Turbo Chameleon V2 from icomp.de. On the expensive side though. Would love to just have even some REU... but all I can really come across is GEOS ram.
OMG GEOS
Mostly agree...the last decade was the best time for 8-bit SoC like AVR. 32bit is so cheap now I think it may be time once again to frame the 8-bit stuff and hang it on the wall.
