  • How to make you own Character ROM?

    I have a breadbox C64, and I just wanted to know what EPROM to use to burn your own C64 characters.

    Thanks.

    It's an old small ROM of the 2364 type IIRC.
    Today you could buy "any" 8 Bit Eprom as the "bigger" they are the cheaper they become.
    (and who cares if you use only 4, or 8KB of that 27C256/512er) but you would have to make
    yourself a socket that fits to the different pin-outs. Nothing for the inexperienced
    but not that tricky either.

    I would not go for a 27C64 IIRC they have become quite expensive in comparance to
    27C256/512. In those big ones you could even put diffrerent sets and switch them.

    The PROM is a 2332. You'll have to wire up an adaptor for whatever
    EPROM you use - any that's 4 kB or larger will do.
