  • Looking for Commodore 64 Single Chip Internal RAM Replacement

    From cts3000@gmail.com@3:770/3 to All on Tuesday, June 01, 2021 06:12:57
    In the last couple of months, someone created a single RAM chip, that replaces all internal Commodore 64 memory modules.

    Anyone know where I can find information on this?

    Thank you,

    Chris

    Why you need this? You can still buy RAM chips for C64 for few dollars

    To relive our mis-spent youth, of course. And an instant trip down old
    memory lane. I still remember trying to get 80 column porn to display
    on my 40 column C=64 1701 monitor. Still got the monitor - it shows VHS
    porn just fine. Bv)=

    ... Amiga made it possible. Commodore made it dead.

    ASCII-porn?

    Bitmap porn was okay with the 1701.

    Interesting site - trip down mammary lane as it were.

    My C=64 couldn't handle the porn from Burroghs mini-frame that was the
    BBS host confuser. When I upgraded to an Amiga things were different.
