Yes, they work, many thanks! If there are any other remaining Infocom games you can convert, I'd be interested in those also. They were all great.

Hello, for the save and restore of a game session, do I need to have a physical floppy drive? Cheers, Jason.

Holger Janz is working on RamDisk drivers, to make use of The!Cart´s 512KB RAM chip:

When I understood @JAC! correctly, it theoretically should be possible, that The!Cart "flashes itself". Maybe @JAC! can say something about this?

No, save slot space is included in the ATR, so they are all self-contained.

Ok, when I run the ATR using the MyIDE II cart, it reports the SAVE was ok, but when I do a RESTORE, an error is reported. Don't know why. Any ideas? Cheers.

I can reproduce under emulation so will take a look soon

too many distractions (mostly work taking priority)  but will hopefully relax a little on that this week

Ok, no problem. Thanks for working on it.
