Maybe add a small 5-volt Flash ROM for some auto-start firmware, to save typing when loading software. The software would be loaded from some external source, such as the SD2IEC. Basically, a simple loader would load an image file to the appropriate RAM banks. Compression is not really needed. Some years ago, I finished the Vic Flash Plugin that was under development for the best part of this millennium: http://www.iki.fi/~msmakela/8bit/vfp/ The Vic Flash Plugin cartridge uses the 5-volt Flash chip Am29F032B which probably is big enough (4MiB) to host all Vic-20 software ever written. It was difficult to obtain even back then. The hardware was never sold. Marko Message was sent through the cbm-hackers mailing listReceived on 2015-07-11 07:00:44
