F/+HINT5

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.

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

+5V (pins 9,10,49,50)   A +5V supply from the Electron.  Up to 500mA
(total) may safely be drawn from this line by expansion modules as long as
no power is taken from 18V AC (pins 1,2,3,4).

SOUND O/P (pin 11)      Sound output.  A 3V peak to peak source via a 1K
series resistor from the Electron ULA.

16 MHz (pin 12)         16 Megahertz from the Electron main oscillator. 
This output may be used for clock generation within an expansion module.

/13 IN (pin 13)         16 Megahertz divided by 13.  This output may be
used for baud rate generation.  If divided by 1024 it will give
approximately 1200Hz.

PHI OUT (pin 14)        The 6502 input clock.  The low time is nominally
250ns.  The high time may be 250ns (2MHz operation when reading ROMs) or
750ns or 1250ns (stretched clock for a 1MHz access, the length depending
on the phase of the 2MHz clock) or up to 40us (if in modes 0-3).  For
further details see Section 4.

RST (pin 15)            Reset (active low).  This is an OUTPUT ONLY for
the system reset line.  It may be used to initialise expansion modules on
power up and when the BREAK key is pressed.

NMI (pin 16)            Non-Maskable Interrupt (negative edge triggered). 
This is the system NMI line which is open collector (wire-OR) and may be
asserted by an expansion module.  The pull-up resistor on this line inside
the ULA is 3k3.  Care must be taken to avoid masking other interrupts by
holding the line low.  Using NMI on the Electron requires knowledge of
operating system protocols.

IRQ (pin 17)            Interrupt Request (active low).  This is the
system IRQ line which is open collector (wire-OR) and may be asserted by
an expansion module.  The pull-up resistor on this line inside the ULA is
3k3.  It is essential for the correct operation of the machine that
interrupts to not occur until the software is capable of dealing with
them.  Interrupts on the Electron expansion bus should therefore be
disabled on power-up and reset.  Significant use of interrupt service time
may affect other machine functions, eg the real time clock.  For further
details see Section 4.

R/W (pin 18)            The system read/write line from the 6502.

D7-D0 (pins 19-26)      Bi-directional data bus.  The direction of data is
determined by R/W.

RDY (pin 27)            6502 ready line (active low).  May be asserted by
an expansion module to stop the processor when reading slow memory.  This
line works on read only (R/W=1).

(pin 28)                No connection

(pins 29,30)            Polarising key connector.

A0-A15 (pins 31-46)     6502 address bus.



3.0  Power Supply

Electron power supply:

Note carefully:  instructions supplied with any expansion unit must state
that all power supplied to the Electron and the expansion unit must be
turned off before the expansion module is connected to or disconnected
from the Electron.

The Electron power supply may be used to power expansion modules to a
total of 500mA drawn from the +5V terminal on the expansion connector, and
20mA from the -5V terminal.  THESE ARE TOTAL FIGURES FOR ALL EXPANSION
UNITS COMBINED.

The 18V AC terminals on the expansion connector may be used to drive a low
voltage power supply in the expansion module, but the total power drawn
from the Electron mains power adaptor must never exceed 14 watts (worst
case).  If no power is being drawn by the expansion unit from the
Electron's +5V supply then 6W may safely be drawn from the 18V AC lines on
the expansion connector.  The thermal fuse in the mains power adaptor is
blown irretrievably if these values are exceeded.

Expansion power supply:

To accommodate expansion modules and combinations of modules which require
more current, a separate power supply must be used.  When this is done,
the 0V rail of the expansion module must be connected to the 0V terminal
of the Electron expansion connector.  The +5V rail and the -5V rail (if
implemented) must remain isolated from the Electron.

On no account should an expansion module power supply be designated to
drive the Electron's 18V AC lines.  This could create a conflict with the
Electron's own AC supply, and would be extremely dangerous if the
Electron's mains power transformer were plugged into the Electron when
disconnected from the mains.
