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

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
