Read More…A VIC-20 expansion cartridge with DS12885T+ RTC chip and 35KB memory expansion combined, with battery-backup.
Includes switches for configuration. RTC chip is Direct Memory Access on the memory map, mapped to either of the two IO expansion slot. Can be hot-unmapped (disabled) without affecting the operation of the VIC-20 if the card is in a VIC-1010 or VIC-1020 motherboard expansion, if you need the IO port for another device while in-use. CR2032 battery is expected to last approximately two years and easily replaced.
The RTC chip includes 115 bytes for user memory, battery backed-up. Useful for storing configuration information between sessions or counting various aspects of your intended use (ie. BBS logins, downloads, last login user info, etc)
Datasheet for using the DS12885T+ is here https://www.analog.com/media/en/technical-documentation/data-sheets/DS12885-DS12C887A.pdf (pages 11-19 are most important for your needs) The RTC outputs an /IRQ and a squarewave signal, intended for an alarm, which are unused but you can tap into these for your own needs if necessary with through-holes on the PCB. The RTC may also be cleared by grounding another through-hole.
Includes a reset button for resetting the VIC-20 system.
Memory expansion may be disabled based on memory banks (BLK0-3KB, BLK1-8KB, BLK2-8KB, BLK3-8KB, BLK5-8KB) so this card can perform as a regular memory expansion card, compatible with other cards or cartridges in a motherboard.
