    Tl;dr

    - Emulate both 64Kbyte and 128Kbyte ROMs by simply loading the binary files from a microSD card or via a Wi-Fi connection.

    - Interact with the cartridge bus in real-time for data reading and writing, which allows for seamless emulation of devices such as floppy disks, hard disks , real-time clocks, keyboards, mouse devices, and more.

    - Dive into a realm of possibilities, limited only by your creativity. Thanks to its open architecture and the open-source code, SidecarT can evolve to meet any challenge you envision.

      also, the board costs 30€, or 55€(!!) with a Pi Pico W included. Considering the Pico W sells for around 7€ almost everywhere, the fully populated board sounds a bit like a rip-off...

      I an considering getting one for my 520ST (I have a handfull of Pico W's lying around), but I'm not sure if it would be better to wait a bit for the next HW revision (if there is one)... v0.0.1 screams "early-adopter" a bit too loud for my tastes ;)

      But I kinda like the idea of the floppy downloader that can directly grab floppy files from an S3 bucket somewhere.
