Expert Cartridge by Trilogic came relatively late to the european market in the middle of 1986 but got into quite a success story. Expert Cartridge is a RAM only cartridge carrying 8 kbyte of RAM which can be pre-programmed just like on ISEPIC. The difference apart from the available RAM is that it was relatively easy to change the software and add own functionality. LOADing the software of course takes it's time but developers added speed loaders whereever possible and suitable. The name Expert fits pretty well since all of the software if really targetted to be used by the experienced user.
