ekara:ekaraweb e-kara Web cartridge 28M (Japan)
details of some of them to be filled in once I have cart scans, and in some cases a translation. the e-kara web thing is probably useless these days as it was meant to work with PC software (there's an MCU + USB interface in the unit) to transfer downloaded songs etc. from a specific service into the cartridge for use on the system, and like many of these online services from 15+ years ago, the listed site no longer resolves.
