F/+MCART1

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 Cartridge Interface Specification
Applicable Hardware: Acorn Electron

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

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.
