Here you are.... I even pulled of the EPROM to let you have a view what's behind it

Thanks SHADOWFAX for the help, I have designed the printed circuit board allready.
Its about 1/3 rd smaller the the original.
I just need to do the schematic diagram now.

THIS WAS UPDATED ON MAY 18TH 2009, I FOUND I FORGOT TO ADD THE 2K7 RESISTOR TO THE SCHEMATIC.

HERE IS MY PCB I HAVE DESIGNED, ITS SMALLER THAN THE ORIGINAL.

PARTS LIST:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1 * 2764 EPROM - PROGRAMED WITH THE FASTLOAD.BIN FILE, NOT THE .CRT FILE.
1 * 7407 HEX BUFFER WITH HIGH VOLTAGE OPEN COLLECTOR OUTPUTS.
1 * 2K7 .25WATT RESISTOR.
1 * 0.47MF MONOLYTHIC CAPACITOR ( LEFT SIDE OF BOARD ).
1 * 0.1MF MONOLYTHIC CAPACITOR ( TOP, BETWEEN THE TWO CHIPS ), FOR SPIKE SURPRESSION.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I HOPE YOU ALL LIKE THE WORK I PUT INTO IT OVER THE LAST FEW DAYS OR SO..
DROP ME A MESSAGE OF WHAT YOU THINK, OR ENQUIRIES.

Thank you too. This will helps others.

Looking very neat indead! Good job!!

What is the time constant that the pull-up and the C implements?

What is in the C64? Let's say 3.9kOhm.. 470nF with 3k9.. If these are the values, tau is 1.8 ms. TTL trip points are as low as 0.8V, which is roughly 0.16x5V, thus only 0.17 tau (-ln 1-0.16). => 320µs. So if the cart hasn't been accessed every 320µs, either on ROML, IO1 or IO2, then it disappears. That seems to be quite a small value. However, because the cart is always visible on IO2, which resets the C, even this small value could be sufficient.

I'll implement the Epyx emulation in the 1541Ultimate with 512 PHI2 cycles delay. I am sure that would do.
