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.

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 2.0 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' res pectively. 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. 2.1 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 nOE - 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. This approach is necessary for compatibility with the Electron. 5 A8 - Address line 8 : Input with TTL levels 6 A13 - Address line 13 : Input with TTL levels 7 A12 - Address line 12 : Input with TTL levels 8 PH12 - CPU clock : Input with CMOS levels This input is the host computer PH12out. 9 -5V - The negative supply voltage No more than 20mA per cartridge should be drawn from this supply. 10 CSYNC/MADET On the Electron: This is a "no connect" on the Electron. On the Master 128: This pin has two functions dependant on the position of a link in the host computer:- E/nB: this is the default function. It allows hardware in cartridges to "know" which into which type of computer it is plugged. It is a direct connection to+0V in the Master 128 and a floating node in the Electron. CSYNC - Composite Synchronisation: Input with TTL levels The system composite vertical and horizontal synchronisation is made available. It is intended to be used in genlock applications.
