It is clear, thanks for putting it up.

Pin 1 and 28 are connected to VCC on the C64C so if Pin 1 of a 27512 is
inserted into the socket and the A15 grounded with the switch it effectively
shorts VCC to ground, that's why Pin 1 of the 27512 must not be inserted
into the socket.

Off course not Clocky.. Only connect the pins I said. Also A14 must
not be inserted. Pin 27 is also connected to VCC.. :-)

I'm just happy that it's working. Was driving me crazy because I could
get the Background/Border Colors and that was it..My guess is because
A13 was NOT in the socket is what the whole problem was.

You are right, A13 must be connected for a 16 Kb configuration. If
it's not connected you only load the first 8 Kb (the kernal) and not
the second 8 Kb (basic) so you got a normal blue screen without text.
