Back in the day me and my friends where Collectors. We downloaded and traded as many programs as we could. Did we use them? No. Did we play the games? Usually no. We just collected them. Maybe it’s an addiction? Were you a collector?

Parameter Cross Ref #9 FOUND
After years of searching my friend Craig E has found Volume 9 of the Original Parameter Cross Reference. I had always thought Volume 8 was the last one released by Edward Mallang III. This is 155 pages of data on how to copy programs.

INSTA Cartridge

On boot the Cartridge simply ask you to:
PLEASE INSERT “INSTA” DISK
Here is what I got from using MDUMP: INSTA.ZIP
