It is a product put out by DATA-20, an outfit that used to be
in the L.A. area. It does three things: Firstly, it adds 64 k
of *paged* ram to the VIC! It gives the VIC a 40 or 80-column
mono display, and the VideoPAK also has firmware that will
turn the VIC into a data terminal.
It's a cool item, alas, it no longer works (only works in 40
column mode now). It cost big bucks in 1982 when I bought
it (something like $300). It came with a word processing
program, and a spreadsheet. My then-future wife used it in
the lab were I worked for billing, letters, etc.
It's the only one like it I've ever seen. The other ones
I've seen were the 32k model.
These guys also made an 80-column cart for the c-64 (along with
a CP/M cart).
