Weight – 30 grams Battery for back-up – CR2032 lithium (battery not included) Power consumption – 35 mA Battery life – 3 years (estimated) Edge connector – gold-plated Compatibility – C64, C64C, C128, Ultimate 64 Price – $57 US (50 Euros) for the 2 MB version, $8 US shipping to US, 8 Euros shipping to Europe. $90 US (77 Euros) for the 4 MB version. $8 US shipping to the US, 8 Euros shipping to Europe. Contact – eslapion(at)videotron.ca or eslapion.fl(at)gmail.com or by personal message at Melon64.com or Amibay.com Paypal payments only to eslapion(at)videotron.ca Details from Francois – This product works well on all C64, C64c, and C128 (1 Mhz and 2 MHz). ...it also works perfectly well on the Ultimate 64, and it does support higher operation speeds up to 48MHz. Although the Ultimate 64 does already have GeoRAM emulation built-in, you still have the benefit of battery backup with CleoRAM.

+OLD CS1 Posted October 24, 2021 Share Posted October 24, 2021 eslapion FTW! Interesting. If it is compatible with CP/M and GEOS, does it use DMA? I have seen some modern geoRAM clones which are only compatible with GEOS (non-DMA;) a modern DMA-capable REU would be really cool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobertB Posted October 25, 2021 Author Share Posted October 25, 2021 (edited) No, no DMA.

If you mean the 8726 REC chip, nobody has reproduced it.
