I heard, years ago, that the old C64's would have problems running
a RAM expander.  I forgot that fact, and bought one to use with my
BBS.  The problem is, I found out that the rumor was true.  The RAM
expander (a 1764, modified to 512K) won't work on the C64, but works
just fine on my Commodore 128.

Is there a way to change the C64, so that the RAM expander will work?
I want to keep the BBS on the C64 (I had the spare computer, so I
put up the BBS and don't want to run it on my "good" computer.)

Thanks in advance.
