Just a reminder, if you can't find a writeable e2prom cartridge,
but you can find a ROM cartridge, there's always my instructions on
how to convert a ROM cart to a eeprom cart:

It's been quite a while since I wrote this.  The EEPROM part may be
getting harder to come by.

Thanks, Steve.  I read and copied down your web address for the switch.  I 
do have a couple of ROM cartridges that I do not use.  Now I have to find 
someone to do the work.  Meantime, I still would be interested in the "rare" 
used RAM cartridges... Ellen

I saw a used VFX in a music store today.  The manager sold me the 
cart for $25. Serendipity.

Ellen, I looked at the cart conversion supplied by Steve (steve_31). 
That is something I can easily do. The chip should only be about $5. 
I have the necessary equipment and experience.

My only concern is taking the cartridge apart. I'll look at this one 
I just picked up and see what it's like. Take a look at yours and see 
if it looks doable without breakage. We may work something out, then.
