For the C64, C128 (in 40-column mode), and VIC-20, the BackBit cartridge is
still for sale at
https://www.backbit.io/
See Evie's introduction to the BackBit at
https://www.youtube.com/watch?list=PLik3CBZlL5eW3O-LaLSmVX5k3eL0nKWet&v=G3t2_iloGVQ&feature=emb_logo
and how to use the BackBit at

The big selling point of the cartridge is its compatibility with various disk,
tape, and cartridge images, like D64, D81, CRT, PRG, P00, .20, .40, .60, .a0,
and more. Just drop the image(s) onto a microSD card and pop the card into the
BackBit. You see
the file(s) on a menu, you select the one you want, and it loads and runs. No
Commodore calisthenics to get the computer to recognize the image type.
As mentioned above, the BackBit cartridge works with the VIC-20 with a special
adapter that fits the BackBit into the adapter. Evie has a video that explains
it at
