A cartridge is a module which includes a circuit board with memory, usually read-only memory (ROM) but may be random-access memory (RAM).

The Amiga originally had space in its memory map for a ROM cartridge, starting at $F00000. The space was later reused for diagnostic boards. This support went away with version 2.0 of the operating system as this space was now used by the Kickstart ROMs.

The 256K front RAM expansion for the A1000 is also sometimes called a cartridge.
