How to use +60k expansion

Yep, as easy as that.
How do I address that extra ram?

(In fact I'm more planning to build a +60k compatible expansion, but that's another story. It's easier for me to build stuff if I know how they are supposed to work...)

You might get some clues from the way it is emulated.
(there's a descriptive comment in the beginning)

it may be offtopic but maybe you'd rather consider something GEOram like?
It is VERY simple, easyly supports 512KB up to 2MB, is 100% emulated and there are modern schematics with nowadays ICs for a batterey buffered version (NEOram).
Also people (me :) still/again code for it.
Just my 2 cents.

Also see here, hehe:

Thank you ninja!
Wonder why I haven't found that page earlier...
Now I'll just make up some nice ideas how to make the most out of this.
Or perhaps hack my c128 to be able to play +60k with the built in chips...

Sorry enthui, I can't waste the $dexx space.

A bit off topic I guess but I suppose that actually Action Replay / Retro Replay internal ram is most popular memory expansion. Not useful if $dexx memory can't be used but anyway I though it was worth mentioning here as it must be more popular than +60k. It's also trivial to use.

Sure, I have 1541u and IDE64.
I mostly use the second one, where $dexx is occupied by lots of io-stuff like ethernet, usb and whatnot.

$d100 for enabling +60k is simple enough.
Then I have lots of free io-space to implement page selection too. The only problem is that I don't know if my cdpld (3064) is powerful enough to do that stuff. I could use more... But a +60k is easily done in one chip. (plus memory, or the built in memory of a c128)

may I ask: what software are you going to use which takes advantage of the +60k?

Sure, I have 1541u and IDE64.

1541u already has a REU inside with 16 MB RAM, and 1541u also has Retro Replay cartridge emulation which has 32 kB of RAM.

I don't see why you need that +60k expansion.

My guess is: for the fun of it :)
