While the memory of the Commodore 64 could not be
expanded there were ways of adding to its capabilities. |
|
|
|
|
| One was to use
the memory and software of the 1541 disk drive.
Another was to buy software on a cartridge. Continually
inserting and removing cartridges could damage the
contacts on the cartridge slot but this could be
avoided by using a switchable motherboard. The four
slot Stack motherboard illustrated is an example
of this method. |
|
|
|
|
| Cartridges included
extensions to the limited Basic 2.0 supplied with
the 64. The one that I used the most was the Zoom
assembler, there being no machine code monitor,
assembler or disassembler native to the computer. |
