F/+HINT4

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.

3.1  Master 128 Memory Map

At the time of writing the memory map within the areas INFC and INFD in
the Master 128 computer are as follows:

        &FCFF           Paging register for memory in the &8000 to &BFFF
                        region.                                                                                                     
                                  
Paging logic has to be implemented in each cartridge as necessary.

1.0  Purpose of this application note

1  To describe the signals available on the expansion port at the rear of
the Electron microcomputer.

2  To define the specification which all expansion modules for the
Electron microcomputer must meet.

3  To describe Acorn Computers' philosophy for expansion of the Electron
microcomputer.

Note that both hardware and software must conform to the standards set out
in this note.  Failure to do this will result in poor reliability, and
incompatibility with other expansion modules and the Electron itself. 
Failure to comply with the power supply requirements may cause the thermal
fuse in the mains power adaptor to blow irretrievably.


1.1  Acorn Expansion Module Philosophy

The Electron is designed to take one or two expansion units fixed rigidly
to the main unit and to one another by screws which locate into recessed
brass bosses.  More expansion units can be added with consequent loss of
rigidity.

Electrical connection is to the PCB edge connector at the back of the
Electron.  Dimensions and specifications for the expansion connector are
given in section 2 and the Appendix.


2.0  Electron Expansion Connector

Pinout

To gain access to the Electron expansion connector, the plastic cover
which protects it must be removed.  Any  instructions supplied with an
expansion module must direct the user to remove this cover before
attempting to connect the module to the Electron, and to replace the cover
whenever the module is disconnected.

The Electron expansion connector is laid out as shown in Figure 1. 



2.1  Signal Definitions

The function of each terminal on the Electron expansion connector is
described below.

18V AC (pins 1,2)       These lines are connected directly to the output
AC RETURNS (pins 3,4)   from the Electron mains power 
                        adaptor.  A total of 6W may be drawn from these
                        lines as long as no power is
                        taken from +5V (pins 9,10,49,50).  For safety
                        reasons these lines must never
                        be used as an AC input to the Electron, see
                        Section 3.

-5V (pins 5,6)          A -5V supply from the Electron.  Up to 20mA
(total) may safely be drawn from this line by expansion modules.

0V (pins 7,8,47,48)     Ground.  Expansion modules with their own power
supply must have the 0V lines commoned with the Electron.
