Some more #Famicom shenanigans. Note to self: The Family Basic cartridge only works with the keyboard plugged in. (fedia.io)

It's indeed quite odd.
It even gets weirder, there was a data recorder (datasette) that could be plugged into the keyboard for loading and saving programs.
Strangely enough the use of a disk drive prevents the use of family basic because it occupies the cartridge port.
