[comp.sys.cbm] VIA Add-on to C64?

jgreco@csd4.csd.uwm.edu (Joe Greco) (10/01/89)

Hello....

I have been experimenting with a 6522 VIA chip.  I'd like to map one into
the 64's I/O space, but I ran into a little trouble.  It doesn't work....

I have simply connected all CPU-side pins on the VIA to their expansion port
counterparts, except for CS1.  (CS2* is connected to IO1).  It doesn't work,

but if I disconnect CS1 amd put a 6526 CIA in place, it works perfectly
fine.  Does anybody know of any timing problems or other possible causes?

Thanks....

					- Joe

  Hmm, my friend made the opposite to his vic, and his CIA is working fine.
Hey.. Cs1 is active high, so you better connect it to Vcc and /Cs2 to
/IOx..

Trust me, it was the first thing I thought of.  I had it connected
correctly, but also tried grounding it in case my docs were wrong.

Perhaps it's just that both of these stupid VIA's are bad...?
