64K Memory Card

64K Memory Card - Front

80 Column Video Card - Back

 

Atari 64K Memory Module.  Up to 3 of these modules could have resided within the 1090XL expansion chassis.  They would be daisy chained together via the expansion header located in the top center of the card.  The card had 2 "Personality" modes.  One mode was the "Bank Switching" mode for use with the 800XL, 1400XL and 1450XLD.  The second mode was the "1064" mode which would have allowed a single memory card to act as a 1064 expansion module.  (The 1064 Expansion module was a 64K box which could only plug into an Atari 600XL giving it 80K of total memory).
