- Maybe. I suppose it could be. But the gold plating over the entire PC
- board's surface, and the overall quality of the cart (better than
- Commodore themselves usually made!) seems to go against that. No, I
- haven't seen any "Honk Konk" pirate knock-offs; can you supply more info?

- seriously, I mean a technical description of what you're talking about.)

- still open to other ideas. Something has to explain this. Any other
- similar carts out there?
