Dirk, could you say more about your set up? I am curious about what you have connected. I'd love to. user port: nothing special, only a simple reset switch. :wink: I will connect a rs232-module in the future for a connection with a terminal. tape port: infinity + ITS-module for TAP-support expansio...

For me, that's just about the limit. Works nice, easy to connect and perfect TAP-support.
Look and see! One shot of my VIC20-setup:

FE3-firmware-update to version R022D can be found here: FE3firmware R022D . This small update is based on firmware-revision R021. All sources (from version R022D and R021) are included. Now the loader-files will not overwrite the screen anymore. Fixed: All RAM available for loader-files. This has al...

Tomorrow i will publish the needed FE3-firmware-update (r022d) here.

Thanks a lot for that utility! Very clever, but a bit too late or too early. Who knows? Missed that one for about 30 years now: Searched in the Arpa- and Internet already, nothing similar found so far. BTW: Did Commodore wrote a manual for the VIC-20 back in the days? Two complaints from me: o The p...

You should measure the audio-lines and connectors on the faulty board with a continuity tester at first.

Be careful with swapping the chip: Never test a working chip in a possibly non-working or damaged mainboard! Not that you have two non-working VICs afterwards ...

You should better ask Donald for the price a of a fully assembled board (http://www.sinchai.de/index.php?main_page=contact_us). I have bought one FE3 from him. I am sure, that he will make a good offer, if they are in stock. He will deliver next year, because they currently have vacation until Janua...

Yes, you are right. The RTC will be used for the timestamp of the saved files.

I bought mine exactly 30 years ago on November 11th 1982 and it's still working.
