Hello Ruud,
thanks a lot, really helpful! But let me clarify something, and I will cite
my original post: "[..] the C-64 only displays colored squares instead
of characters AND instead of sprites [..]" I never said this happens on
startup - there you don't have sprites. This happens when I pop in a
game cart. Otherwise, at startup I only see light blue squares on a dark
blue background. NOw I don't mean to say that you aren't correct in
dismissing my assumption, I just want to provide all the data. BTW, the
game is actually somewhat playable, except that sprites are bigger squares
while there are 4 stripes/areas filled with colorful squares. When there is no
cart, at startup the light bue squares are located in those same 4 stripes/areas.
Anyway, thanks a lot for a very informative post.

No Problem.

The 6581 needs 12V instead of the 9V for the 8580. The 9V won't harm the 6581
but i cannot guarrantee that it will work properly.

No problem AFAIK.

No. In fact I never encounterd a brooken CHARROM in my life. If the CHARROM is brooken I expect allkind of garbage on the screen but in the standard sturt-up colors. Certainly NOT all kind of colored squares.
