Re: Building a NeoRam Ram expansion memory cartridge for the C64 computer
@banman, Thanks for the kind words. I completely forgot to snap a picture of the board as it sat and didn't work right. It worked as a 512k but it didnt see the other chips. I couldn't fix it so I used my hot air station and removed the chips from the board. The pads all seem fine and I toned them o...

Re: Building a NeoRam Ram expansion memory cartridge for the C64 computer
Ugh. I tested mine and it only sees 512k. I must have did a crappy job soldering the SMD chips. It was the first attempt at SMD so I will give myself a break. I looked at it through a loupe and found some legs that aren't even on the pads all the way. And doing a continuity test between the chips fo...

Re: Building a NeoRam Ram expansion memory cartridge for the C64 computer
Nice job and great resources here. I will post pictures of the one I did a while ago. I don't recall if I tested fully the RAM. I know it works but I have to check to make sure it shows up as the full 2MB. I will check out the tools you used for testing and the globs one that @eslapion posted in the...

WTB: Epyx Vorpal Utility Kit USA (disk only or complete)
Hello, I am looking for an original Epyx Vorpal Utility Kit. It doesn't have to be complete but does at least need to be an original disk that is fully functional. The copies that are on the internet are mostly working but they usually don't include the alignment portion with the special disk format...

Re: GeoRAM clone prototype working!
Cool. I would for sure vote for the battery backup option. Prices seem reasonable.

Re: Zoomfloppy nibwrite issue
Sorry I just saw the reply. I hope you got it working. The only other thing I would suggest is try an older version of NibTools. The Original ZoomFloppy installation zip file included an older version of NibTools. I think you can download previous versions too from the site. Not sure if it will help...

Re: Zoomfloppy nibwrite issue
Thats weird. I run it on a Windows XP box but I havent had any problems running it on Win7 with the 64bit version of NibTools. Are you installing OpenCBM with the ZoomFloppy distribution? Also have you tried running the command prompt with Admin rights before you attempt to use NibRead? Since Nibtoo...

Re: C64 vs C64C
They produced the original 64 from 82 to 86 so four years. They produced the 64C from 86-94 or close to 8 years. I know I grew up with an original but…login to view the rest of this post
