C64ExpansionBreakout

This is an adapter board for the expansion port of the Commodore 64. It connects the expansion port to a standard 830 pin prototyping breadboard to assist with the development of modules or cartridges. USE AT YOUR OWN RISK!

Adapter In Action

Revision 2

This revision adds an optional on-board slot for either a 27c512 or 27c020 EPROM. The data bus lines D0-D7 and the address bus lines A0-A12 are connected directly to the slot, as are GND and the 5V power rail. The remaining address bus lines of the EPROM and CE/OE are available on J4. Jumper JP1 must be closed if a 27c512 chip is used.

C64ExpansionBreakout Rev. 2

Revision 1

The first revision directly connects all 38 lines from the expansion port tho the breadboard. 5V and GND are connected to the matching rails on the breadboard. A reset button is added for convenience.
