    Fastload cartridge for Commodore 64 computer with reset switch
    Compatible with SD2IEC 1541 disk emulators
    Commands:
    $ command
    The $ command lists a disk directory. It’s equivalent to LOAD “$”,8 but it doesn’t overwrite the program in memory, making it super convenient. To view the contents of the disk in drive 8, simply issue the command
    $
    .
    / command
    The / command loads a Basic program from disk. It’s equivalent to LOAD “FILENAME”,8. To load a file, simply issue the command
    /FILENAME
    .
    Tip:
    Conveniently, when you list a disk directory, you can arrow up to the file you want, then simply type the / character over the file size, space over the rest of the numbers in the size, and hit enter. The command will ignore whatever is on screen after the filename.
    % command
    The % command loads a machine language program from disk. It’s equivalent to LOAD “FILENAME”,8,1. To load a file, simply issue the command
    %FILENAME
    . If the program doesn’t auto run, you’ll have to follow with the appropriate SYS command to start the program.
    Tip:
    Just like the
    /
    command, you can list a disk directory, then arrow up to a file you want, and hit the
    %
    key in front of the filename to load it.
    ? command
    The ? command saves a Basic program to disk. It’s equivalent to SAVE “FILENAME”,8. To load a file, simply issue the command ?
    FILENAME
    .
    £
    command
    Disk Utilities Menu.
    ! command
    Enter Fastload Monitor Mode to inspect and change memory content.  Enter % to return to Basic

    ----------------------------------
    PLA Substitute for Commodore 64 made with ST OTP EPROM.
    Tested with Super Zaxxon and Epyx fastload cartridges for full compatibility.
    Ultra low consumption at 8mA, compared to 100mA for original PLA and 60-70 mA for GAL20V8 based PLA.
    Almost exact dimensions as original PLA.  Flat (not square) pins matches original IC shape for low stress socket insertion.
    CAS -> CASRAM delay and RiseTime tested with Digital Storage Oscilloscope.  Very close match rise time and timing restrictions of original Commodore PLA.
    ROMH and ROML tested to not be simultaneously LOW with High End Agilent Logic Analyzer
    Not designed to be soldered.  Need to be inserted in a socket.
