 |  Re: Possible 8501 replacement kit?
As discussed, fortunately there are several options now.
-I highly suggest to contact directly MCes(if he has some free time):
all the parts he sent me worked perfectly and was ready really fast.
Currently I use his 8501 compatible solution in my C16, and it is just perfect.
-The 6502A based solution with 512KB RAM (Hannes 256K compatible):
it needs a little soldering if you need the extra RAM:

(remark: maybe the Hannes type of RAM is less future-proof than the software based GEORAM like extension in Sidekick264, programmers do not like Hannes RAM so much)
The rest I did not try, so I cannot comment.
(There could be some restrictions in the 6510 based solutions related to datasette or disc fastloaders, but probably this issue is already solved, at least in some versions)
