THE!CART... New 128MB FLASH Cartridge

[mega-hz]

Hi there,

 

since 2011 a little hardware i made is waiting to be public :

 

THE!CART

 

(pic shows the first one with 32MB and 128KB RAM)

 

All your ROMs can be at one place!

Huge Flash-Memory size of 128MB (Yes, megabytes!)

 

for further details have a look at my site:

 

preorders are welcome...

Good grief! I'm intrigued!!!!!

I'll take at least one.

The 128KB is used as system RAM? For example a 64k atari would have 192k?

[mega-hz]

no, the 128KB SRAM was only in the first CARTs... it's now always 512KB!

The Picture with 32MB and 128KB SRAM is an early version of THE!CART.

 

It can't be used as memory-extension, but it is used by the flash-program and can be used in some modes.

Coders can use the bankswitching either with flash or with the ram, maybe some game-coders or demo-coders can use that too...

All CARTs will have 128MB of Flash and 512KB SRAM.

Is it just for XLs and XEs, or can it be used with the Atari 400 and 800 as well?

[mega-hz]

of course, it will run at 400/800 too

Cool. It's nice that it supports both the XL/XEs and the original 400/800 machines. You can have the extra RAM without having to have (potentially) different hardware mods for the different machine types. I'll be purchasing one.

If I understood correctly the 512k cannot be used as system memory, see post #6

You did say it was available using bank switching, correct? I take you just couldn't expect to use it with existing software such as Ramdisks.
