I can't wait to to see those pics.
I am thinking of taking on making my own expansion cart as a future project.

This Vic-20 has been sitting in a box in someones garage, attic or basement for who knows how long going unused until one day when a friend of mine found it at a garage sale and traded it to me for a guitar and 2 play station games. It came with a printer, a modem, a tape drive and over 30 carts and...

It's a 2-pin Vic and was bought at a Kmart in KC, MO, USA in 1983

I would be interested.

Downloaded this program a couple of weeks ago. I've been using it quite a bit. Works beautifully. Thank you Boray.

Nevermind, i just reread your post and saw you checked your vias.

Did you check the UAB3? The VIA chip there is the interface controller for the drives. Seems rational to me that it might be the first thing effected by a surge creared by drive power up. Blank screen or no screen is a symptom for this chip being bad as well.

Thanks for the help. I got it open. Compared the circuit to the 16k pic. I would need to solder in 4 chips, 4 capacitors and another dip switch (although the switch could probably be bypassed). If i went forward with this right now it would.be my first soldering project I think i'll find other proje...

I read that the 8k ram cart has a 2nd slot for another 8k ram chip. I am interested it making this mod to my 8k cart. To anyone who knows anything about this i have 3 questions. 1. How do you get the cart open? 2. What is the name of the specific ram chip I need? 3. Are there any other mods that I n...

That did it. Getting ready to order the chip. Thank you, that was a great help:)

I finally got my chords in the mail for my vic. It turns on, displays the cbm basic...ready but there is usually no cursor. When I do have a cursor it often doesn't respond, will let me type in a couple of lines or commands and then stops responding or just prints off a few random characters on the ...

Awesome. Will check those out. Thank you.

I am currently in the market for A 2 pin power supply for an US Vic 20 if any body knows a good place to find one.

Thanks for the input. I'm thinking about going for a sd2iec for now and a fe3 down the road. Is the fe3 site back up yet. Last time I was there it was still down?
