Re: Vic-20 2-pin power connector
It's a common style that's used on boomboxes from the 80's thru today. Actually, most laptop power supplies that are ungrounded use a similar connector, the pins should be spaced the same. I bet you'll trip on some if you walk into most IT departments.

But can you use the 3K in Super Expander without activating the ROM itself, i.e. can you ever get 6653 bytes free after power-on? Yep. I modified one of mine.

I don't think I bought all of them, maybe about 15-20 or so, but there were some games I played for days or weeks on end, and others I didnt. I remember playing Maniac Mansion and Zac McKracken a LOT. I also playe...
