Blues76 Posted November 9, 2020 Share Posted November 9, 2020 Hi, I was reading about both and there seems to be some similarities. Can someone tell me the differences between Side 3 and Ultimate Cartridge and similarities? Why have one over the other? Or maybe you have both? I did search for a comparison but I did not find one. It is only informational, I'm really not trying to ask which one is best. The reality is that I don't know the differences. Thanks, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flashjazzcat Posted November 9, 2020 Share Posted November 9, 2020 See Philsan's comparison of A8 loading devices: https://atariage.com/forums/applications/core/interface/file/attachment.php?id=780300 In short, Ultimate Cart provides no hard disk or ATR loading functionality whatsoever. SIDE3 basically does everything Ultimate Cart does (and with a more powerful loader), but gives you an SD-card based hard disk, built-in SpartaDOS X, and a real time clock. SIDE3 can also be paired with Ultimate 1MB to provide highly compatible disk-image handling and bootable hard disk partitions, all managed from the same loader. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
