Switchable XE Game Cartridges? SWXEGS and/or SXEGS?

[SS]

I have seen a mention here and there about "switchable XE game cartridges". I gather that these are multi-disk images that have been modified for use on XEGS cartridges. However, I cannot seem to locate much information about them or any SWXEGS ROM images anywhere. Can anyone help to point me in the right direction? Thanks.

S/XEGS - from Raster and Bob!k in the Czech Republic

 

Switchable XEGS - I believe this was done by Nir Dary as an adaption of the XEGS board.

(hopefully he can confirm as these were some details he sent me years ago)

Well, I think there is also a simpler design (Nir made for me) to simply switch the XEGS cart off after the game has been copied to RAM. He took a normal XEGS cart pcb (no additional pcb) and added some wires, so the game could be loaded from Eprom instead of ROM and as said before the cart is switched off after the game is completely loaded/copied into RAM (so the cart ROM space is available as RAM again)...

 

Could not find anything under the name switchable XEGS cart, but attached some old stuff from Nir (a text, converting games into XEGS carts and two schematics) that I found in my archive. Since I cannot interpret schematics, I do not know if any of the two schematics belong to the text (and this topic) or not...

Yes, I have these two:

And then I have this archive with 11 Switchable XEGS Multi-Carts (which come from Raster/C.P.U.):
