Mosaic RAMMASTER 32 help?
Posted: Tue Jul 14, 2015 3:07 am
Hi, I'm new here.
I picked up an attic-find Vic20 in good condition with an Avenger cartridge, and requiring a RAM expansion for some more interesting tasks, I picked up a Mosaic RAMMASTER 32K off ebay.
Does anyone have any manual for this or perhaps explain to me how it's supposed to work?
There's a pass-through port where I can piggy-back another cartridge on the back.
Also there's a set of 8 DIP switches on the side. They are labelled "1 2 3 R 5 W X P", and there is a jumper block next to them.
I take it that 1,2,3 in the down position activate those banks of expansion RAM. Certainly flipping around with those change the amount of memory available. I assume 5 is for the cartridge area RAM because flipping X on without 5 passes through to the piggy-back port and the cartridge starts
The other DIP switches I have no idea about. Flipping P however won't display any text upon start up (just white/cyan screen)
Can anyone fill me in on the other switches? I assume this device can possibly also dump the cartridge somehow....
