That's the Magic-Sac I imagine. It used a cartridge with Mac Rom chips and
once booted on the Atari ST, ran System 6. I have a couple but I'm not sure if
the spare works. They required a watch-type battery. IIRC they were made by
Dave Small, an innovator who pops up now and then between retirements.
He got in a lot of trouble with Mac (I believe) and litigation etc. ran him
out of business.
Occasionally they turn up on the Atari ngs. or at Atari swapfests.
Incidentally, for anyone in the Toronto area, TAF is having one Nov 18.
Details on the TAF web-site.
