  |   Commodore 16 expansion
  I would like to receive some suggestion about expanding an old commodore 16 to 64K. Which is the most convenient way ? Cheers, Luca

  I would definitely recommend trying to find a upgrade available on eBay or a spare one from someones collection.  Other than that, why don't you try making a internal upgrade yourself?  Instructions here --->

  I did remember, that have some memory IC "41" somewhere, and I supposed it is for C16. I just wanted to offer you them, and checked all my old stuff for that.
  I found them, but seems a little too big for the small guy    mine is not 41464, but a 41C256P-8 (I have 4), but they seems to be 256Kb RAM ICs, maybe for good old VGA cards, or Gravis Ultrasound? Unfortunately too new for you !
  BTW: Luca, why are you apprearing now as "register"?  I remember you had a correct profile in the past.

  Luca: you can use 256Kb chips just without to cable the MSB, so that they work as 64Kb chips.

  But I suppose not the iones I mentioned? seems to be different speed (80ns?). In the hardware section (C16 memory expansions) I saw RAM chips used from 70 to 150 ns too, maybe it is not critical, if it is faster... I am not an expert in that, just curious, if these ones can be for any use for you. I do not remeber, why I bought it...  I will give and post those 4 ICs free for anyone needs in this forum!    If no candidate, I will sell it on ebay...
  Unfortunatekly I could not find for these Samsung RAM chips any specification sheets... That's why I cannot comment the housing, and exact specs, maybe
