There were some other products like eprom burners, clock cart (for earlier
ST no equipped with internal clocks), robot kit, digitizer, controlling a
proprietary brand of color copiers around 90-92' and of course... for ROM
based programs, one of the most popular was the VT100 cart which allowed the
ST to access VAX's and was actually cheaper then VT100's at the time.
