New The 1541/C RAMBOard New
The Essential Maverick Accessory for your 1541/1541C!

Remember the 1970’s. That’s the decade that brought us the first affordable home computers? The 1980’s was the decade that saw the development of stunning software that finally took advantage of the available hardware. What do you think of the 1990’s will be remembered for?

For our part, we’re going to remember it as a decade of killer copy protection.

No kidding. Our programming staff has just been flooded by the clever and crafty sophistication of some of the new breed of copy protection schemes. We’ve been writing parameters for years now, and yet with all that experience behind us we’re seeing things that even our famous Maverick archival utility system can’t handle.

At least, not without a little help...

The RAMBOard was designed from the beginning as an integrated component in the Maverick arsenal. It’s a RAM chip mounted on a custom board that, in almost all cases, plugs right into your Commodore disk drive. This extra RAM creates a “virtual workspace” that gives Maverick enough elbow room to work some special magic.

With RAMBOard installed, Maverick is able to back up programs that can’t be backed up by software alone. Current Maverick modules already contain advanced RAMBOard parameters. As future copy protection schemes become more radical, RAMBOard will be an indispensable part of the Maverick arsenal – and you can bet that our future parameters will reflect that.

Parameters aren’t the only reason for owning a RAMBOard. The advanced user’s amount you will be interested in the fact that the Maverick sports a state of the art track editor that reaches its full potential only with the use of the RAMBOard. With the RAMBOard installed you can read, edit and write whole tracks at a time. Plus a dual GCR RAMBOard powered nibbler! This and other RAMBOard support utilities found in Maverick allow the experienced user to actually create custom copiers – a hacker’s dream come true!

Yet for all its capabilities, the RAMBOard itself is simple to install: just open your drive, plug in the RAMBOard, and close the drive. That’s all there is to it. There’s no soldering, no wire cutting, and no hassles. None and our illustrated instructions will make you feel like a pro before you even begin. Anybody who has tried to backup some of today’s software knows that it’s not as easy as it used to be. The good old days of “Track 23” errors are gone forever. Welcome to the RAMBOard.
