Vixen 16k mapped to BLK5...Possible?

Post by nama »

I want to run some cartridge images from my uIEC. Does anyone know if the Vixen 16k RAM module can be modified to allow ram at BLK5?

Cheers

From memory not easily. You need to configure the hardware inside, possibly soldering and track cutting.

The old Commodore 16k ram had either switches or the space for jumper wires to configure the blocks.

Mega Cart or FE3 do this automagically.

Yeah, I ran into this issue before, Vixen can't easily have RAM on block 5. You'll need the suggestions Ian made.
