The RAM in $0000..$03FF can also be accessed by the VIC chip.shadow wrote:1) Video memory is stuck in the factory 4k window (the whole reason I registered here was to ask why I couldn't move it to $0400)
Not quite. Access of the colour RAM wraps from 38911 ($97FF) to 37888 ($9400) in that case. If you saw colour RAM data extending into I/O 2 ($9800..$9BFF), you're using an extremely old, and imprecise, version of VICE.3) [...] If 36866 >=128, the color RAM is at the high end of the 1k block, and the added rows read their color from the memory after the color RAM block, one of the cartridge I/O blocks. (I have no idea what those I/O blocks are, but you apparently can't POKE into them.)
Oh! You will be quite surprised, if you keep looking, what people did on the VIC-20 even without any RAM expansions.5) The VIC did not have nearly enough factory memory, particularly if you want to extend the screen and edit characters
