[Coco] Making rompaks

[Bill Pierce]

Hi,
In another discussion on this list, I mentioned that old 8-track tape catridges could be used to make cases for rompaks.
In browsing in my old mags for some other info, I ran across the article that I got the rompak info from.
The article was in the March 1982 issue of "80 Microcomputing Magazine" on page 338. Ironically, the article is by our own Dennis Kitsz :-)
Here is a link to the actual article which also highly details how the Coco uses the ROMS as well. The part about the 8-track carts is near the end of the article.

I hope this is of interest to those who are doing rompak projects :-)
