Me perhaps. A few years ago I actively sought for a VIC-1111 +16K RAM expander, mainly because it was the biggest single RAM expansion cart sold by Commodore. Any more RAM than that would have required either a cartridge expander (and jumpering the RAM carts) or using a 3rd party RAM expansion cart. The cart serves me as reference to enforce that RAM limit in hardware for tests.garry68 wrote:Who has nostalgia for a RAM pack!?
As it happened, I could source a VIC-1111 for 5 EUR on a retro fair.
The firmware of modern multi cartridges might just soft-limit available RAM for BASIC from a full RAM expansion, but the RAM is still "there". This can easily hide programming errors, especially from stray accesses: CPU reads still can retrieve the data that would under normal circumstances be lost in the void.
