   Bizarre!  As far as I know, the only difference between a Kernal 3 C64 and 
the SX-64 is a change to make the RUN key (that's SHIFT-RUN/STOP) load from 
the disk drive in stead of the cassette port (which the SX doesn't have).

   On the other hand, I have recently been reminded that there is a great 
physical difference that might prevent some cartridges from inserting 
properly.  If that were the case here, you'd probably know...
