Hi All, I was wondering if we could share what we each know about how various utility cartridges /expansions go about installing themselves on the C64 and them hiding from the User. For example: KCS Power Cartridge has a 6810 (128byte RAM) which is in the I/O area and vectors are routed through this to switch in /out the ROM expansion The FINAL Cartridge III mirrors 512 bytes of ROM into the I/O space for the same reason Other carts (eg freezers) use a combination of RESET and NMI to wedge themselves at the push of a button.... But how to do some of the other devices work: RAMLINK (in particular where does RLDOS live)?? Epyx FastLoad (there's only a ROM and logic here)?? Action Replay (EPROMS, RAM and Logic)?? How do the C128 carts do it? PLEASE TAKE NOTE: The contents of this email (including any attachments) may be privileged and confidential. Any unauthorised use of the contents is expressly prohibited.
