Hey everybody! We got a donation last night at the Personal Computer Museum of a cartridge for the Atari 8-bit that I have never seen before.
It looks like it is called The Mighty Unit 4.1 - and the instructions indicate there was a 3.3 and a 2.1 version prior. I put the release year at 1987 since the front mentions the XE systems.
It is a cartridge intended to make backups of other cartridges. Our entry for it is here:

You can see the scans of what came with it including the manual. The cartridge looks like this and is very unusual - at first it felt like it was made of GRANITE but really someone has just poured a plastic resin around the unit to provide and housing and (presumably) hide what is inside.
I couldn't find anything about it with a quick search so I wondered if anyone out there has seen this before? Thoughts? Comments?
