The two modules work together to map in a 512K rom image for booting, and page in the RAM using specific MSX memory mapping techniques.
The 512K ROM image is mapped across a number opf MSX “slots” and “sub-slots” - enabling the storage of BIOS, Operating System and various applications and drivers.
The 2x512K RAM is mapped, using MSX’s memory page mapping, enabling compatible systems and applications the full use of the available RAM.
This module is designed for operation in conjunction with other MSX modules (CPU, GAME, RGB VIDEO, PPI & Keyboard).
The full kits includes everything you need (2 PCB, capacitors, IC sockets, connectors, and the ICs).
The supplied ROM image will be flash with your choice of 50Hz or 60Hz CBIOS/MSX-DOS image. Additional ROM images are available for download that include MSX-BIOS and MSX-BASIC and configured for different regions.
What else do I need? This module is the core of a MSX configured build. It will only enable a bootable system if you have the required additional MSX modules:
