This is not totally true. The Happy Discovery Cartridge can be ordered with
optional socket so a second cartridge can be used with it. I use one regularly
with my Magic Sac cartridge. I have found no problems with both cartridges
plugged in. In addition the Discovery Cartridge allows you to backup many of
your copy protected programs that could not be copied through software programs
alone.
