Unobtainium! (Part 2)...


MPI 020 prototype boards

Only a fellow neomaxizoomdweebie (ultimate modern nerd), like me, could fully appreciate something as cool as these prototype expansion boards. Unobtainium at its finest!

- Original photo prints and docs.
- Rev #0 & Rev #1 (both working).
- 35K RAM and option ROM.
- 3-slot expansion. 
- System reset.  Fused.


I have scanned and placed the documentation up on DLH's Commodore Archive. 

I have additional VIC-20 material over on my web site: http://www.geocities.ws/cbm
