| Apr 15, 2017 at 9:00 | comment | added | Miro Kropacek | @Thomas: the exact same system is called CompyShop and it matters only if the app/demo/game requires separate ANTIC access, which is mostly never the case. | |
| Apr 15, 2017 at 8:59 | comment | added | Miro Kropacek | @BrianH: in 99% cases, yes. Actually, if they state the expansion is CompyShop compatible, then it's 100%. | |

| Mar 21, 2017 at 0:22 | comment | added | Brian H | If an Atari program is said to "require 130XE", can you safely assume that program will run on an 800XL or 65XE that has a compatible memory expansion? | |

PIA port B wasn't available for bank-switching on the Atari 400 and 800.
