From the project
A daughterboard to expand C128/D/DCR color ram to 8 bits and/or to 32K OR expand internal 1571 RAM
This is a 24 to 28 pin adapter PCB that can be used for three different C128 modifications:
- widen 2K Color RAM to 8 bits (C128/C128D/C128DCR) - widen Color RAM to 8 bits and expand to 32K (C128/C128D/C128DCR) - RAM Expansion for 1571CR compatible with Maverick (C128DCR only)
PDF plot of the schematic can be found here.
