18642The Sorcerer was the first system to use cartridges. The cartridge was the shell of an 8-track music cartridge, fitted with a circuit board and roms.

18644 
18645 
1861218646The Sorcerer was first launched in 1978 (although some sources claim 1977, which appears unlikely). The expansion systems and drives were released at the same time.

45514  * super80h: a hardware-only modification, created by Mark Hurry (Chipspeed) from Sydney, which used extra memory to map each tile to a color (4-bit foreground and 4-bit background); the colors were generated by a TEA2018, driving a PAL generator; the composite output is suitable for the yellow input on a modern color TV.
45515 
45516  * super80j: similar to super80h, but instead of converting the signal to composite, the rgb and intensity signals were passed directly to a suitable color monitor (no longer available).
