   hardware project : ram instead of eprom

   Hi!   
      
   Are there any hardware guys out there that may be able to help me with this   
   question :   
      
   I was planning to add a 'flexible' cartridge solution to my c64, and to be   
   able to better experiment with it,   
   I have thougt about using a 6264 RAM chip instead of the classic 2764   
   EPROM...   
      
   The idea would be to guide the r/w signal through a switch, so that it could   
   be write protected when the correct data was first put in the 6264...   
      
   Then i would use the /game signal through a switch too to enable or disable   
   the RAM/ROM...   
      
   The question I can't seem to find the answer to is this : Is the /game pin   
   only low when reading from memory or also when writing to memory ?   
      
   (If it is, then I would not need so many logic ICs to do the adress decoding   
   for the chip select...)   
      
   Any ideas ?   
      
   Sincerely,   
   Anders Fogh (Walt of Bonzai)
