walter_J64bit Posted February 22, 2004 Share Posted February 22, 2004 I just win a 600XL on e-Bay, what are some good upgrades for the 600XL? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curt Vendel Posted February 22, 2004 Share Posted February 22, 2004 There are a couple, Atari and MPP both produced 64K upgrade plug in modules, then there are a few internal solder upgrades. If you're interested, I have a couple of brand new, mint boxed Atari 1064 plug in memory modules for the 600XL, $25 each. Curt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

walter_J64bit Posted February 25, 2004 Author Share Posted February 25, 2004 How does the 1064 MEMORY EXPANSION work? Does it disable the on-board 16k of the 600XL and then just use the 64k from the 1064? Or does it just add an extra 48k to the 600XL to get the 64k ?

I've found my own answers http://www.backntime.net/Atari%20Computers...eXLdevices.html Its seem to add 64k to the 16k giving the 600XL 80K. Hmm if I put in an internal 64k Upgrade Kit and use the 1064 at the same time can I get 144k? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't believe that is right. For one thing, the 6502 can only address 64k so you would need some bank switching stuff (like the 130XE had). I believe that the 1064 disables the internal memory and makes the computer use its memory. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did some more looking and I've found this! http://www.atarimagazines.com/creative/v10...i_for_the_f.php it's just adds 48k to the 600XL!

It's actually a 48K module and with the 600XL's own built in 16K would give you a total of 64K, not 80K I'm afraid, sorry :-) But then you are at the same memory as an 800XL and/or 65XE Curt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miker Posted February 28, 2004 Share Posted February 28, 2004 I just win a 600XL on e-Bay, what are some good upgrades for the 600XL? Or maybe leave it with its 16k just for testing which progs/games work with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
