Well, I thought about the bus-collision, and found a way of dealing
with it (it's actually simpler now). This is the new version, that
won't fry the bus when writing to write-protected memory.
It has also got 1 less component (a resistor) :) .
VIC-20 32k memory expansion (ver. 951026)
=========================================
This is one of my contributions to the Commodore 8-bit community.
I made this document to show you how to expand the memory of your VIC-20.
I designed and built the memory expansion in October 1995.
I have built the expansion on a vero-board inside my VIC-20, so the cartridge-
port is free. All that is seen outside are three switches (reset, write
enable/disable, memoryexpansion on/off).
I also plan to make an external memory-cartridge (so I can make some for my
friends without opening their precious babies) as soon as I get all the
stuff to make PCB:s at work.
This new version has removed the trouble with bus-collision.
I hope that this document is accurate and that you can get it to work.
My hardware DOES work, and has been tested on quite a few programs, both
expanded, unexpanded, and cartridgeimages (both 8k and 16k).
I will take no responsibility for any damages that may occur when you are
trying to use this information. This information is free, and any damages are
done by you, not me.
Let the old 8-bit computers LIVE ON!
Features
--------
* 32k RAM in four 8k blocks located in memory at:
$2000 (BLK1)
$4000 (BLK2)
$6000 (BLK3)
$A000 (BLK5)
This gives you an additional 24k BASIC memory (27,5k total!), and 8k at the
cartridge area.
* Ability to load and run cartridge-images from disk or tape.
* Write enable/disable switch, lets you run copyprotected cartridgeimages.
* Switch to enable/disable the whole extra-memory, to let you use an external
cartridge, or use the VIC-20 unexpanded.
* Reset switch.
Parts used
----------
1 * HY62256, 32kbyte static RAM, 100ns (any 32k SRAM faster than 500ns should
be O.K.)
1 * 74LS147, 10-4 line priority encoder
2 * on/off switches
1 * reset switch
Some wires and a vero-board to solder all parts on.
How to connect it all
---------------------
SRAMX is pin nr X on SRAM.
74X is pin nr X on 74LS147.
VICX is pin nr X on VIC expansion port.
SWITCHXY is switch nr X, pin nr Y.
SWITCH1 is write enable/disable.
SWITCH2 is expansion enable/disable.
SWITCH3 is reset.
