Re: 6502 RAM / ROM expansion question

Yes, there is flash software and ROM image for VIC!

But is it the only difference with PET and floppy (the software) ?

There is no hardware specificity ?

VIC serial bus issue

When I connect a working floppy drive or a SD2IEC device to one of my VICs, it is not detected,
I have a "device not found" message if I try a : load"$",8
like if the serial bus was faulty.

Is there a typical reason for this kind of issue ?

Thanks.

WTB: 2 prong power supply for european VIC

Hi,

As written in the title, I have a VIC20 with a 2 prong connector which came without PSU.

If you have a useless 2 prong power supply, let me know :wink:

Thanks.

Re: Power supply question

Hello beamrider,

I haven't understood this sentence:

Does the same VIC20 power supply can be used with a 25 Watts VIC20 and a 15 Watts VIC20 ?
