Bus: Add comparision with RC2014 bus
The backplanes (though not the cards) are actually fairly compatible, so we include this information to give guidance on using a backplane from one system with the other. This may also provide helpful insight for RC6502 board designers.

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.
