But.. - the number of ROM images is virtually unlimited with today's capacities - if you have more than two, then one switch is not enough - images could be easily managed, (updated, added, replaced, deleted,..) - any combination of all ROMs could be used (potentially including standard cart ROM software) - it would be _much_ more elegant than a glued switch (and geeky ;-) > But a chacun son gout... ;-) Oui... > Doesn't the EasyFlash 3 already do that? Seems to me I just saw a demo of exactly that at the last TPUG meeting... It indeed does something similar (for KERNAL only), but: - it is a cartridge that has to go into EXPANSION port (mine is long overloaded, while I would gladly replace power hungry ROMs) - it does the trick only for KERNAL - it is only for C64, whereas what I suggest would be adaptable for other 6502 systems with relatively low effort -- SD!
