Express! Cart

This morning after some discussions with Fellow Sysop John Polka of the Basement BBS, I went on the hunt for the Express! Terminal Program Cart. This is a rare cart and the dump seems to be nowhere.. Well, I located in some obscure part of my preservation server the cart BIN and a program written by Stephen Carden and Keith Ledbetter which makes it possible for anytime on the Atari 8bit to hit option and load the cart. These means you can keep the the A8 working elsewhere and hit Option to load up the cart. Also works on Altirra and Atari800MacX this way which is pretty cool.

The Idea now is to create an ATR file as this is a pretty decent term program but more importantly burn some roms, print some 3D cart cases and have this rare cartridge preserved even if its a reproduction..

This one you need to download from the BBS. southernamis.ddns,net port 23
