Hi Richard,

My guess it uses 44256chips, thus it is a 1MB expansion. Strange though that
it ties all the lines together except for the data lines... normally the
designers would tie the data together and rely on the /OE to avoid bus
contentions... someone may need to confirm this.... I couldn't find any
other DIP RAMs would fit the pinouts.... 44256 chips can be found on old VGA
PC video cards....

RE: C65 RAM ExpanderI've uploaded a picture of my C65 Ram Expander to:

http://home.wanadoo.nl/cip/C65RAMExpander.jpg


I took my multimeter and found out that the pins 3 to 9 and 11 to 17 are
connected to each chip on the same pins
Pin 10 is the VCC and pin 20 is the GND

Could this help?

Greetings Richard
