(and the A2KF MIDI amiright?)  I might just use it's controls to build a tiny external controller!  This thing would also be very nice for portable Loopcarting!

Also the freaking Harmony Cart is out!!!  I totally forgot about this one!  Basically it's a nice 2600 flash cartridge with a built in SD card slot that supports SD and SDHC and USB built in.  It support just about all of the 2600 library.  I'm fairly certain it covers ALL titles regardless of their specific cartridge designs and such.  The real kicker, it's only a whopping $60!  Awesome!

So these are two great developments for Atari 2600 music!  big_smile
