- You can use any game cartridge labled for use on XL/XE systems, and you can
- use most of the cartridges labled for the Atari 400/800 systems (some of
- the 400/800 carts were programmed using direct access to routines in the OS
- ROM which was a no-no with Atari; when the OS was revised for the XL
- systems, these carts wouldn't work on them).
- You cannot use carts from the 2600, 5200, or 7800 video game consoles on
- the XE game system.
