Cartridges

The P2000T is capable of interfacing with cartridges in SLOT1 during the boot process. Upon purchase, the P2000T typically included the standard BASIC cartridge; however, alternative cartridge designs are also available. In this article, we delve into an exploration of diverse cartridge designs and provide instructions on constructing your own personalized P2000T cartridge.

Cartridge Reader

Copying data from the SLOT1 cartridges ideally proceeds in a non-invasive manner, i.e. without breaking open the cartridge. This guide explains how this task can be accomplished using an Arduino Leonardo based cartridge reader hat.

PICO SST39SF0x0 Programmer

Interfacing with the P2000T using a modern computer can be a difficult task. Although there exists the possibility to interface with the P2000T using a serial connection, another option is to use an EEPROM. EEPROM flashers can be relatively expensive and this project attempts to tackle this by building a dedicated EEPROM flasher for the SST39SF0x0 branch of chips based on a Raspberry Pi PICO.
