So, say you went a little further and built a 27128 board with some decode gates and flip-flops that supported the same bank-switch addresses as Atari 16K... How much time and expense? Coding for this is a piece of cake, the dang boards are the only show-stopper to most people. -- mor@xxxxxxx http://www.crl.com/~mor/ -- Stella list is Administered by krishna@xxxxxxxxxxxx <Glenn Saunders> Archives (includes files) at http://www.biglist.com/lists/stella/archives/ Unsub & more at http://www.biglist.com/lists/stella/stella.html +-shameless plugs-------------------------------------------------------+ | Stella documentary at http://www.primenet.com/~krishna | | Nick's VCS links via http://www.primenet.com/~nickb/atariprg.htm | | Write the best game, win framed autographs of famous Atari alumni!! | +-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
