Third-party Modifications
|
||||
-------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
This section describes changes to the bus interface used by
|
||||
third-party boards.
|
||||
|
||||
#### appleii6502
|
||||
|
||||
[appleii6502][a26] (apparently an anonymous user hosting his blog on
|
||||
[Ninja Tools][a26-nt]) has been producing and selling RC6502 boards
|
||||
and kits in Japan. The technical focus seems to be around re-using the
|
||||
signals generated by the [SBC]'s [74LS138 decoder][a26-decode] by
|
||||
routing them on to the bus in the following way:
|
||||
|
||||
Decode Range RC6502 Bus Apple 1 Expansion Slot
|
||||
$A000 35 TX T (pin L)
|
||||
$B000 36 RX S (pin 11)
|
||||
$C000 39 R (pin 21)
|
||||
|
||||
The $C000 to expansion slot pin R mapping corresponds to the [Apple 1
|
||||
address decoding][a1decode] jumper settings needed by the [Apple Cassette
|
||||
Interface (ACI)][aci].
|
||||
|
||||
His [Apple1 SBC Slot Expander][a26-se] adds two 44-pin expansion slots with
|
||||
the same pinout as the original Apple 1. RC6502 bus signals TX, RX, 38 and
|
||||
39 are brought to pads adacent to pads for the Apple 1 slot signals S, T
|
||||
and R to which the builder can solder jumpers. Pin 39 is labeled `$̅C̅0̅0̅0̅`;
|
||||
it's intended that the [SBC] be modified to bring its address decoding for
|
||||
that signal to that pin. These jumperings are [shown in images
|
||||
here][a26-cass-7].
|
||||
|
||||
The [Cassette Interface][a26-cass] is a clone of the original [ACI] that
|
||||
plugs into the slot expander. It has a 2K ROM enabled by RC6502 bus pin 39,
|
||||
which must be set up as a $C000-$CFFF decode (see above).
|
||||
|
||||
Another [post on slot expander decoding][a26-ab] explains how to disconnect
|
||||
the Arduino's TX/RX (by cutting the pins off the Arduino board) and instead
|
||||
wire $A000 and $B000 decoding to those bus pins. Presumably this is for a
|
||||
future expansion card project.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
RC2014 Bus Comparison
|
||||
---------------------
|
||||
|
||||
The RC6502 bus is very similar to the [RC2014 bus] used on some Z80
|
||||
homebrew computers. The following table compares the two; pins with
|
||||
substantially different/incompatible functions are marked with a bullet
|
||||
(`●`).
|
||||
|
||||
The 6502 uses the Motorola bus prococols; the Intel bus protocols are
|
||||
substantially different, precluding sharing of peripherals unless they are
|
||||
specifically designed with the extra hardware necessary to support both.
|
||||
However, the backplanes are interchagable with some cavats; see below for
|
||||
details.

||||

### Backplane Compatibility
|
||||
|
||||
The [RC2014 backplanes][RC2014-spec] (as of the 0.4 draft specification)
|
||||
can be used with RC6502 boards and vice versa, with some caveats. The power
|
||||
(18) and ground (19) pins may be supplied by the backplane and are
|
||||
compatible. The following other pins have caveats:
|
||||
|
||||
* __/RESET__ (20)
|
||||
* RC2014 backplanes with a power supply (SC105, SC112) have a 4.7 kΩ
|
||||
pull-up resistor on /RESET. RC6502 board reset logic should be able to
|
||||
pull this line low to reset the system. RC2014 backplanes also have a
|
||||
reset switch; this ___must not be closed___ as it will conflict with
|
||||
the standard reset output circuitry of RC6502 boards, potentially
|
||||
damaging the board.
|
||||
* RC6502 backplanes have no reset logic, so a pull-up (4.7 kΩ to Vcc) and
|
||||
an RC2014 board will need to supply a reset signal. The SC108 CPU board
|
||||
supplies power-on reset but has no reset button. The SC101, SC114 and
|
||||
SC130 provide a reset button.
|
||||
* __Pin 40__.
|
||||
* RC2014 backplanes provide pin 40 as a bus or daisy chain (with pin
|
||||
80) depending on the model. This pin does not exist on RC6502 boards
|
||||
and thus can be ignored. Be careful not to insert the RC6502 board
|
||||
offset by one pin.
|
||||
* RC6502 backplanes do not provide pin 40, so the USER4 signal cannot be
|
||||
used.
