This repository contains firmware and gerber files for the "Apple-1 RAM/ROM Cartridge" expansion card for the Apple-1 computer.

|
||||
## Description
|
||||
|
||||
This project aims to equip Apple-1 users with a quick way to expand RAM capacity in their systems up to 52 KB and to simultaneously
|
||||
store Apple-1 programs in ~30KB of on-board ROM, which can be banked in and out via software. The on-board ROM also contains a loader
|
||||
program which is capable of loading programs spanning across noncontinuous memory locations. You can either use a default loader program `4000R`, which displays the list of all available program entries, or the fast loader program `4300R`, which loads the
|
||||
program which is capable of loading programs spanning across noncontinuous memory locations. You can either use a default loader
|
||||
program `4000R`, which displays the list of all available program entries, or the fast loader program `4300R`, which loads the
|
||||
specific program entry automatically.
|
||||
|
||||
The A1C expansion card allows to completely disable the ROM/loader functionality (via physical switch) which takes up to 2 KB of
|
||||
memory (`$4000-$47FF`) and to provide continuous 44KB wide RAM address space instead (`$1000-$BFFF`).
|
||||
The A1C expansion card allows to completely disable the ROM/loader functionality (which takes up to 2 KB of memory at `$4000-$47FF`)
|
||||
via physical switch and to provide continuous 44KB wide RAM address space instead (`$1000-$BFFF`). This can be done while the
|
||||
system is running, thus after a program is loaded, one can change the switch location disabling ROM banking functionality
|
||||
and use the entire memory address space as RAM.
|
||||
|
||||
Loader programs in ROM mode copy bytes sequentially from ROM to RAM locations described in the entries table, banking the ROM
|
||||
in and out. Each entry may consist of several segments that can be loaded to non adjacent memory locations. For obvious reasons
|
||||
the address space between `$4000-$47FF` cannot be utilised at loading time, because it would require the loader program
|
||||
to overwrite itself in ROM.
|
||||
|
||||
The A1C expansion card in RAM mode works great in conjunction with [Apple-1 Serial Interface](http://github.com/flowenol/apple11serial)
|
||||
card or the original ACI, expanding the available address space to load programs.

|

; is to use Apple-1 Serial Card and "SAVE" routine from the modified fork of the
|
||||
; Applesoft BASIC. Just hook the card up to your PC and record the data in any
|
||||
; of the terminal emulation programs you prefer.
|

;
|
||||
; With your BASIC program still loaded in memory, reset to Woz Monitor then
|
||||
; display and take note of the following 14 ZP locations:
|
||||
;
|
||||
; 67.74

; TXTTAB = $0067 Start of program text
|

; VARTAB = $0069 Start of variable storage
|

|
||||
;
|

; These bytes will be used to fix the ZP for the program and will have to be

; loaded as a separate segment.
|

;
|
||||
; So to load an Applesoft BASIC program from ROM:
|
||||
;
|

; 1. Applesoft BASIC binary must be loaded
