Posted: Sun Sep 27, 2020 4:05 pm
Final Expansion Alpha (Derived from Final Expansion 3) *
Memory expansion for Vic20 (without switch, all by internal menu) 3Kb-8Kb-16Kb-24Kb-32Kb-35kb.
512KB Flash ROM for loading many Vic-20 cartridge images.
Internal menu for memory configuration.
Onboard RAM (512KB total) can also be used as a large RamDrive *** or task switcher *** , such as having multiple switchable Vic20 sessions.
Cartloader through which you can conveniently start programs, which are stored in the memory. There are 480 KB (of 512 KB) available in flash. You can transfer your favorite programs to flash memory **.
Wedge: This little tool expands the VIC-20 instruction set and implements SJLOAD / SJSAVE (Jiffy compatible load and save).
Suitable for both VIC-20 PAL and NTSC
Latest firmware installed (upgradeable).
The board comes without a shell but the PCB is perfectly compatible with the standard Vic-20 shells, just need to drill 2 holes for the buttons.
Alternatively, I can provide the STL files for 3d printing of the model made specifically for this cartridge.
On youtube there are various videos showing how it works
