   I presume
somebody's mentioned Exidy already? (hey, you didn't specify
 that the cartridges had to have the correct guts...)  
 Did you perhaps mean Exatron as in "stringy floppy"?  Or am I showing 
 my age again? 
I thought so too,. at first. And then I rememebrs something I've posted 
often enough. The Exidy Sorceror ROM cartridges were actually 8-track 
tape housings (the sort of thing you used to stick in your car tape 
player) with the tape and spools removded, some bits of the hosing cut 
away, and a PCB inside containing the ROMs. The PCB had edge fingers to 
connect it to the rest of the machine, accssible through the front side 
of the carttridge.
