       There is a question which I'm sure many others have,
and that is, "Which is the best fastloader/utility cartridge?".
I have seen ads for many, and they all seem to think they are the best,
(of course) but I would like to get users opinions.  E-mail or post,
I will post the results so others can benefit.  Here are some of
the choices:

	JiffyDOS V6.0      Rom change, many different disk drives, 
	 C64  1dr $59.95   64mode function keys, 2 drive copier,
	 C128 1dr $69.95   DOS commands, ...
	 extra dr's $29.95

	Epyx Fastload      T&S editor, moderate speed up, file copier
	$25 (SSI)          

	Mach 5	           Speed up, Like Epyx??
	$22.95 (LYCO)

	Action Replay 5.0  Load/save speed up, Freeze program/monitor,
	$64.95		   Sprite killer, compactor, disk utilities,
			   LSI ic based ...

        Super Cart
	Explode V.5	   Fast load/save, Hi-res operation, Color
	$44.95		   printing, DOS wedge, screen capture ...

	Super Snapshot V4  15x Load, Screen dumps, freeze,
	$64.95		   unprotect ...

	Final Cart III	   Desktop accesory, function keys, fast 
	$49 (Briwall)      load, Freezer, Pop-up calculator, windows

	Warpspeed 128/64   Speed up, ???
	$35 (Briwall)


	As you can see, there are many choices in a wide price
range, and I am confused.  Any opinions or info would be appreciated.
