F/+HINT1

This website contains an archive of files for the Acorn Electron, BBC Micro, Acorn Archimedes, Commodore 16 and Commodore 64 computers, which Dominic Ford has rescued from his private collection of floppy disks and cassettes.

Some of these files were originally commercial releases in the 1980s and 1990s, but they are now widely available online. I assume that copyright over them is no longer being asserted. If you own the copyright and would like files to be removed, please contact me.

Acorn Electron Plus One: Disabling the Centronics and A/D Port

Applicable Hardware: Acorn Electron


We have received a number of enquiries regarding the Plus One with other
software houses products, which make use of some of the locations reserved
in the operating system.  Such software usually works on the Acorn
Electron alone, but not with the Plus One fitted.  Issuing the command *FX
163,128,1 as described in the User Guide may be sufficient to enable the
software to be used; if not the following code will remove the Plus One
completely from the address map disabling the Centronics and A/D ports
(additionally disabling the RS423 cartridge if fitted).

Pressing <BREAK> will return the Electron to its normal state.  The
routine can be saved on cassette/disc and CHAINed prior to loading the
required program.

NB:  This routine will not operate across the tube.



Acorn Electron Cartridge Interface Specification
-------------------------------------------------

This specification details the characteristics of the Cartridge interface
as fitted to the Acorn Electron and BBC Master 128 computers. 

The specification details the physical and electrical characteristics and
software environment of the cartridges.


1.0  Terminology

CMOS  -  Complementary metal-oxide-silicon technology

CPU    - The microprocessor in the host computer

TTL    - Transistor/Transistor Logic

&      - As a number prefix means a hexadecimal number follows

n      - As a signal prefix means the signal is active low


2.1  Host Computer Connection

Cartridges plug into a 44 way gold plated edge connector arranged on each
side of a 0.05 inch slot as 22 ways of 0.05" x 0.5" on 0.1" centres.  The
connectors are parallel to the front of the computer with the front and
rear facing sides designated 'B' and 'A' respectively.  Pin 1 of each side
is on the far right.  This is shown in Diagram 1.

Cartridges are aligned and polarised by the case; they are plugged
vertically into the host.  All cartridges constructed to the time of
writing have the components mounted on the pcb 'A' side.


2.2  Pinout

The pins are described as seen from the cartridges; ie an input to the
cartridge.

SIDE 'A'

1   +5V - Power supply
     This is the system logic supply rail.  No more than 150mA should be
drawn by a cartridge in a fully configured Master 128 computer, ie with
internal co-processor fitted.  No more than 50mA should be drawn by a
cartridge fitted to the Electron.

2   n0E - Output Enable : Input with CMOS levels 
     This is an active low signal during the PH12 period of the system
clock.  It is intended to switch on the output buffers of memory devices
in cartridges.  It is not guaranteed to be high at other times.

     The front cartridge slot is allocated to system ROM positions 0 and
1.  The rear slot is allocated to positions 2 and 3.

3   nRST - System Reset : Input with CMOS levels
     This signal is active low during system reset.  It is not
synchronised to any internal clock.

4   CSRW - Chip Select / Read/Write : Input with CMOS levels
     On the Electron:
     This pin is the CPU read/write line.

     On the Master 128:
     This pin changes function according to the memory region that the CPU
is addressing.  During accesses to devices in the region &FC00 to &FEFF it
is equivalent to the CPU read/write line during nPH12.  For all other
accesses it is an active high chip select for memory devices.  It is not
guaranteed to be low at other times.
