Hi, more questions.

Tandy produced cartridges that used bank switching.

  1. Mind-Roll had two banks.
  2. Predator had four banks.
  3. Robocop had eight banks.

What size cartridges where these games?  16K or 32K.
How did the copy to ram programs save them on disk?
Are any of these games available on the internet?

Looking at the Feb. 1986 Rainbow I see a article about
the Banker.  Was this a 16K cartridge?  Just skimming
the article, did this ram disk use banking like the games
above?

Where can I get a complete list of any banked switched
cartridges from?
