Re: Final Expansion :: 512KB SRAM + 512KB EEPROM + SD Card (2GB)
Edit: yes, it seems the ATF1504ASV (which is the 3.3v variant?) has a different ID to the ATF1504AS (5v variant). Yes, indeed. I've had both the 3.3V and the 5V variant on the cartridges that I built and patched. The resulting SVF files differed in the device id, only. I'll attach both files here i...

Re: Final Expansion :: 512KB SRAM + 512KB EEPROM + SD Card (2GB)
I can indeed confirm that the modified FE3 cartridge is now working flawlessly (RAM-Check, Doom, and all) on both of my PAL VIC-20. Including the one that was producing the cross-talk issues described above! For those who'd like to play along, here's what I did: 1. Solder a bodge wire between pin 17...

Re: Final Expansion :: 512KB SRAM + 512KB EEPROM + SD Card (2GB)
Jim Brain's modding instructions that you followed were mostly a shot in the dark, at a time where the reasons for that behaviour were not yet clearly understood. I suspected as much, so I wasn't too surprised when it didn't work. But it didn't take much effort, so I thought I'd give it a try. The ...
