Message-ID: <473@inuxd.UUCP> Date: Thu, 1-Mar-84 09:08:07 EST Article-I.D.: inuxd.473 Posted: Thu Mar 1 09:08:07 1984 Date-Received: Fri, 2-Mar-84 14:31:32 EST References: <1292@emory.UUCP> Organization: AT&T Consumer Products Div., Indianapolis Lines: 16 All the address and data lines, plus some decoded select lines are available on the expansion bus - which uses a standard 22/44 on .156 centers for the edge connector. You ought to be able to burn your program in ROM and put it at $1000 (or $0400) so that when you power up, you can simply type run and away you go with a basic program in ROM. If you are willing to get deeper, a machine language program could auto start on power up. (This method applies to the VIC20 - the 64 has a different connector and would probably be an over kill for your application.) I don't recommend mucking up an audio recorder. You get what you pay for. Jeff Porter (inuxd!porter) AT&T Consumer Products Indianapolis
