Still, to think that the game cartridges either were confined to the 8k space or they somehow bankswitched to allow larger programs, I find interesting. A friend of mine had his Atari 800 upgraded to 128k I believe. It required a bit of soldering on his part to incorporate the bankswitching scheme the manufacturer used. He also had a 'Happy' chip and any number of other things added to it as well, having bought the machine new in the early 80's and continued to use it for quite a few years.
