will be almost essential for your
larger programs will be launched in
the Spring of 1982 The power plug
for this unit is already on your
expanded system.
EXPANDABLE TO
7 CARTRIDGES
You will now be able to use up
to seven cartridges to expand
from your basic Vic 20. These
can include RAM memory
expansion up to nearly 30K of
usable memory, ROM cartridges
with packaged programs, user
expansion cartridges, printer
software, disc software, RS232,
IEEE interface, line expansion
firmware and many others -
besides of course all your
games cartridges.
ARFON EXPANSION MEMORY
Immediately available from
Arlon in cartridge are 3K RAM
+ 2 sockets, 8K RAM,16K RAM,
8K ROM. 16K ROM. Also a basic
Vic simulator cartridge to allow
tape and cartridge use without
altering the system.
VIC 20 Expansion System
INTERFACES
Slots have been left to allow normal
use of the cassette socket, disc
socket etc , which will still run
normally with your expanded system.
The Arfon Vic 20 Expansion System is a finished metal case
unit that integrates your Vic 20 with an expansion board for up
to seven cartridges and a toroidal power supply (fully enclosed)
to give you suffi cient power for any expansion and also to power
the Arlon Vic Printer. Your Vic and its screen modulator are in-
corporated into the expansion system to produce one unit and
there is an optional lid that covers the expansion area and allows
your TV to sit on top. Access to the various input sockets on
your basic Vic 20 is not restricted while it is in the expansion unit
Stocks are available now through your own Vic Dealer.
