>No, but it does have 64K of address space. if it were a 6502, but the 6507 can only address 8K (only 13 address lines). So the top 3 MSBs of the address are ignored on the 2600 (which effectively creates a mirror every 8K). so if you're ever REALLY short on memory and are using pointers in RAM, you can use those top 3 bits for something. ;o) -paul Archives (includes files) at http://www.biglist.com/lists/stella/archives/ Unsub & more at http://stella.biglist.com
