VecFlash



Just got back some more proto PCB's of my new 'VecFlash' cart -

It's got 512K of Flash RAM in it, making it a kind of VecRAM / MultiCart
hybrid.


At the moment it's using 16 x 32K banks -

But eventually (when I've written a more complex loader) it should be able
to utilise / not waste any memory = more game storage.


As well as keeping the memory contents when powered down, it can also
operate without the PC. This will be achieved with some Vec menu code placed
in Bank A (loader bank), which in turn will control access to the other
banks on the cart.


(BTW If anyone's interested, I'm making some AnimAction PCB's for Mark to
sell on his site).
