What is BASIC 7.1 ?

[Golan Klinger]

     Since Golan is unwilling to divulge any of his "confidential" information on his wonder eprom, I will start a new topic, and hopefully, there will be productive questions and especially *answers* there.

You put "confidential" in quotes. Who used that word other than you? I'm willing to answer any questions asked. What I can't do is answer questions that aren't asked. You might find this interesting:

"When you already have a 28 pin socket, like the 128 and 128D has, all you have to do is to put resistors pulling up to Vcc and switches shorting to the ground on the address lines that are higher than the normally supported A0 to A14. Using this method, I used a rotary switch with 16 positions to allow a 128 user 16 extra possible option ROMs."

Francois certainly does know his stuff.  I've purchased several "goodies" from him in the past.  Most recently, one of his VIC-20 Behr-Bonz multicarts. 

Just steer clear of his so-called "power supplies".

Ah! THAT explains the cartoon-like facial smudges and singed hair!

The multi function ROM EPROM issue was discussed at TPUG earlier this evening and 6502dude, the hardware guru who designed the VIC-20 MegaCart, confirmed that what I've said is accurate and easily doable.

Robert, care to comment or have you gone back to pretending you're not reading my posts?

I hadn't heard about this thread until last night.

Too bad our resident "cub reporter" to realize that he really doesn't know what he is talking about, with respect to hardware possibilities.

Unfortunately, he has a tendency to propagate misinformation.

Brian, who are you talking about?

Unfortunately, he has a tendency to propagate misinformation.

Asking questions is not propagating misinformation.  Receiving straight, honest answers is not propagating misinformation.  See the thread on "Multi-apps on an eprom for U36 " and put some answers there, i.e., programs that can fit into the limited space of a 27C512.

Some folks actually have used eproms larger than 27C512 (with adapter socket) to allow selection between more than just two images in function ROM space. From the basis of your posts, you seem to conclude this is not feasible.

Is it only you who does not understand this concept?
Pictures were posted (although with reference to Amiga) and logic was presented.
Why would you contend what is discussed is not possible and you need it proven to you?

[Andrew Wiskow]

Oh geez...  Isn't there more important stuff for you guys to get your panties in a bunch over?

It seems to me that this was a pretty straight forward discussion until Robert cast doubt so I posted further proof and now a hardware expert has confirmed what I said. Open and shut.

[Andrew Wiskow]

Open and shut.

Thank God.
