Fpga arcade: Vic-20 core

[motrucker]

I was just given a VIC 20 as a Christmas present. It's still sitting in the box. It's in rough shape, but I may clean it up and power it up. I guess I'll have to find some RAM for it, huh?

Well, I remember managing to squeeze quite a bit into that 3.5KB.  

It amazes me that we could do anything with it when you consider that had to hold the BASIC program and the data.

Did you get a cassette deck with it or do you have a floppy drive?

Here's an interesting video showing a few VIC-20 games in action:

I received a datasette with it. I also have a couple of 1571 drives I use with my C-128. I guess they would work in 1541 mode?
I am cleaning the computer now - god only know where it was, it looks like fur inside the thing! It's cleaning up nicely though...
