Summary: Bad news ?

[ Eat this !! ]

I had great problems developing applications for use with the 
cartridge port.  Everything seemed to give me bombs right away.  
I finally got a directory up when I built a cart with just names 
and "rts"s.  I called R Frick's number at atari.  I got passed 
around for a while but eventually got to someone that appeared to 
know what was happening (unfortunately, I forget his name).

He said that application-type cartridges have never worked under any
rev of TOS!!!  This kinda shook me up and I questioned him further but
he wouldn't change his story.  There is some way around the problem,
that involved booting without disks attached or something but I wasn't
able to figure it out.

Has *anyone* been able to get an application cartridge running ?
