Good tinkering !
Correct the bee_card is a converter.
Originally the didn't implement it in MAME.
I think from 251 they did and sadly the from the softlist they didn't implement that the bee_card cartridge (a slot device) is loaded when a game is loaded.
So you have to do that manually or via the runcommand.
I experimented in the past with adding it with the patched runcommands.sh adding it to the standard runcommands when needed when placing these carts in a separate folder but I think I didn't implemented it.
I can however now add a slot device just like we do for certain types of systems but the bee_card only needs to be loaded when a bee_cart game is inserted.
Adding the diskdrive is basically the same story. I can see if I can add it by default. will have a look at that.
Just to clarify, as of now both the bee card and the Astron softcard games work fine when loaded as cartridges, no tinkering with the runcommands needed. Floppy disks aren't working and that might be what you're referencing but the two games requiring "adapters" just work when loaded as cartridges!
