Because there is better use for the cartridge port: you can use it for a real time
clock, I/O ports (tricky but possible) or (like me) as a 1 Meg-ROMDisk
(booteble of course).

There is a book here in Germany, called The TOS Listing, which has the
sources to Gemdos, Ataris BIOS and XBIOS and AHDI in it (two guys
de-compiled the Blitter-ROMs...).

Here in Berlin we are working on a new version of TOS using theese
sources , but I think Atari will be faster.
