A question about the Sorcerer: I heard once that it
used 8-track tapes.
Is this true, or did they mistake a cartridge for a cassette?
Sort of true. It used eight track cassette casings, but the insides were
replaced with a circuit board with a ROM on it. So basically, they
cleverly designed their program carthridges around a readily available
source of casings: the 8-track tape.
