AvailableChecked Jul 24, 2026AVGCART, SUBCART, and DUMBCARTby MiscRetro

A family of SD multicarts for Atari 8-bit computers, ranging from cartridge loading to disk, tape, memory, clock, and audio expansion.

All three product pages showed In stock and Add to cart on 2026-07-24. Optional SIO, ECI, PBI, and DAC cables are separate. SUBCART's extra functions need ECI or PBI, and the maker does not recommend them on a machine with U1MB or another third-party internal memory expansion.

AvailableChecked Jul 27, 2026BackBit Proby BackBit

Uses one microSD cartridge and interchangeable adapters to load software and provide selected storage, cartridge, memory, and diagnostic functions on many vintage computers.

The current store listed the assembled BackBit Pro for $129 on 2026-07-27 with one assembled adapter choice included. A microSD card is not included. Additional adapters are sold separately and require through-hole soldering. Firmware updates use the microSD card. An original C64 Assy 326298 needs the documented reset fix, and the SX-64 needs the straight C64/128 adapter.
