Hiya
have any of the developers on here had much experience with the Atari blank carts that are mentioned in the developer manual?

When it comes to coding the ROM onto the 4 chip variety do you spilt the ROM into the alternating four parts and then encode to the chips accordingly?

Also has anyone any schematics for building blank carts?

Thanks for your help.

Places like B&C and Best Electronics sell the blank boards. I'm sure they have thousands of them. They probably sell schematics too.

Yeah I am getting on eof each so I can study them and figure out this EPROM malarky. Just the wiring of the address lines that has me stumped.

From what I have found on the web, building flash carts should be pretty easy also. And I guess an Alpine board is just a bit more complex than that.

Thanks
