Original Commodore 264 cartridges could be up to 32 Kb in size, in two separate banks of 16Kb. This cartridge implements a latch which is tied to a memory address, so it can address (in this incarnation) up to 2 megabytes of data (128 banks of 16Kb). In that regard, it is very similar to Magic Desk or Ocean cartridges for the Commodore 64.
The PCB was designed to accommodate various types of EPROMs and their FLASH variants. The smallest EPROM you can use is 27C010 (128Kb), and the largest is 27C160 (2Mb). There are two EPROM sockets, but you cannot use both at the same time. The left socket accepts standard 8-bit EPROMs and their FLASH variants (27C010 to 27C080) and the right socket is for 27C160 (16-bit EPROM in 8-bit mode). |
