Versa64Cart is designed to be a modern easy-to-use cartridge development board for Commodore 64 and Commodore 128 hobbyists and hackers. The versatile design of the PCB allows for flexible implementation of various cartridge types. Whether it’s a simple cartridge backup of an 8k game or a switchable multi-program diagnostic cartridge, Versa64Cart has you covered.
You only need to solder 3 or 4 wires and the adapter board to an old cartridge, PCB adapter boards are manufactured on OSH park to ensure the best quality of castellations. Compatible Cartridges: DMG-A02-01: MBC5 + ROM (256/512/1024 KB) + RAM (32KB) + Battery.
Supported EPROMS are: 27C64 (8k), 27C128 (16k), 27C256 (32k), 27C512 (64k).Please see the documentation for more information.
I have put the rev 1.1 in a separate folder in case someone wants to use the kicad files as a template.Rev. 1.2 was designed by Sven Petersen in eagle. It is a complete redrawn schematic and layout.
1.4
- Apr 17, 2017 Breakout board designed in KiCad to connect Pervasive Displays 2.15″ E-Paper (E2215CS062) to Teensy 3.2 or Teensy LC.Based Teensy E-Paper Shield by Jarek Lupinski in EAGLE. My goal is to create a name badge I can wear at conferences and Maker Faires. This was first step to verify the KiCad schematic and KiCad footprints work.
- Kicad nightly build crash kicad-r707-035111.dmg - kicadcrash.txt.
- Change: card edge connector with pads like in v1.1
1.3
- Change: Cartridge enclosure support
- Moved IC socket away from edge
- Moved diode group away from edge
- Bom: Use right angle pin headers. The straight ones are too tall.
1.2
- A reset button
- Jumpers accessible on outer edge.*
- Solder jumpers at the top layer
- New documentation
- Designed in Eagle
Kicad Download
- Remember to turn off the computer before changing the jumpers.
1.1 and 1.0
