You are absolutely correct! The Z-80 cart was
originally shelved when
Commodore decided it was taking too much time and engineering effort to
develop. The FTC forced Commodore to produce the carts or be sued
big time. They produced enough to satisfy the FTC requirements, and
that was the end of that. CPM carts are quite scarce as a result.
(And a bit buggy).
I purchased one for my C-64 back in the early 80s, and still have it,
but I don't remember using it very much. It was one of those things
that I thought I really needed, but once it was in operation, it
changed my mind.
