<p>Revaldinho: Add details of 1Mbyte card</p> <hr /> <div>== 512KB and 1MB RAM Expansions for the CPC 6128 and Plus. ==<br /> <br /> [[File:P1110909 DxO.jpg|thumbnail|Old School 512KByte RAM Expansion for CPC6128 and Plus]]<br /> [[File:CPC_1MB_RAM_SN74_photo.jpg|thumbnail|Old School 1MByte RAM Expansion for CPC6128 and Plus]]<br /> <br /> This project contains is a pair of RAM cards providing either 512KByte or 1MByte expansions which are fully DK'tronics compatible for the first 512KBytes - see the DK'Tronics Peripheral Technical Manual. The 1MByte card uses the Yarek addressing scheme to access the second 512KBytes and this is fully compatible with FutureOS for example.<br /> <br /> Both cards are designed using only standard 74 Series logic ICs and a single SRAM chip. There are no devices which need programming and all parts are in through-hole packages to make for a board which is easily assembled even by a beginner.<br /> <br /> This cards support all 6128, 464 Plus and 6128 Plus machines but are not suitable for the older 464 and 664 computers.<br /> <br /> Electrically, the cards both use very low power. In typical use they draw only a couple of mA of current which is significantly less than that taken by other CPLD based cards. The SRAM and HCT logic components are also very tolerant of low supply voltage and the cards have been tested to work even as low as 3.5V.<br /> <br /> The card has a Mother MX4 standard box connector rather than an edge connector. So to use the board you will need a Mother X4 or compatible expansion card. <br /> <br /> This is a fully open source project under the GPL3 license, and all code and further documentation is available on the project's [https://github.com/revaldinho/cpc_ram_expansion GitHub pages] and [https://github.com/revaldinho/cpc_ram_expansion/wiki/'Old-School'-CPC6128-512KB-and-1MB-RAM-Expansion-Cards Wiki]<br /> <br /> The bare PCBs are available from SeeedStudio via their gallery pages:<br /> <br /> * [https://www.seeedstudio.com/Amstrad-CPC6128-512K-RAM-Expansion-Card-g-1136535 512KByte PCB] <br /> * [https://www.seeedstudio.com/Amstrad-CPC6128-1MByte-RAM-Expansion-Card-g-1306677 1MByte PCB]<br /> <br /> Bare PCBs or fully assembled cards may from time to time be available also directly from Revaldinho - please PM via the Discussion Forum to check. <br /> <br /> [[Category:Peripherals]] [[Category:Memory expansions]]<br /> [[Category:Stub]]</div>

<p>Revaldinho: </p> <hr /> <div>== Universal 512K and 1MByte RAM Expansions. ==<br /> [[File:CPC_UNIVERSAL_RAM512K.jpg|thumbnail|Universal 512KByte RAM Expansion Card]]<br /> [[File:R0000938aDxO_4K.jpg|thumbnail|Universal 1MByte RAM Expansion Card]]<br /> <br /> R0000938aDxO_4K.jpg<br /> <br /> This is a pair of RAM expansion cards suitable for all CPC machines. <br /> <br /> Both can operate in a 512K expansion mode, using the standard Amstrad memory expansion scheme. The 1MByte card uses the Yarek/RAM7 extension to this scheme to provide the full 1MByte of RAM.<br /> <br /> When used with older CPC464/664 machines the cards provide full Dk'Tronics compatiblity in common with other expansions.

<p>Revaldinho: Add more photos</p> <hr /> <div>= CPC-CPLINK =<br /> <br /> A co-processor link card for Amstrad CPC Computers<br /> <br /> (Pronounced CPC-Ker-Plink - as in the game of old)<br /> <br /> [[File:ExpBoardAndCPCCPLINK2.jpg|thumbnail]]<br /> <br /> == Summary == <br /> <br /> This is a card which allows you to connect an external co-processor, like a RaspberryPi, directly to any Amstrad CPC Computer.<br /> <br /> The card provides an easy to use parallel interface between the processors using First-In First-Out (FIFO) hardware and a simple message passing software protocol. Voltage level shifting components are included so that both 3V3 and 5V co-processors can be connected directly. Most likely the co-processor will be a RaspberryPi, but the interface is suitable for other processors and systems including Arduinos, Teensy and PIC MCUs.<br /> <br /> FIFO based operation ensures all key timing requirements are handled by the board, so that any co-processor can be easily interfaced without needing to run bare-metal, timing critical code. e.g. A Raspberry Pi running a full Rasbian (Linux) distribution and a relatively low performance language like Python is perfectly suitable. This kind of co-processor could make some of its own OS resources available to the CPC, for example an SD card interface, timers, serial links etc.<br /> <br /> The board has a convenient connector to allow a RaspberryPi Zero to be plugged directly into the back of the card and powered from the FIFO card itself. Other Pis will fit (although access to the HDMI port is awkward at the bottom of the card), but can more easily be connected using a short 50W ribbon cable. Many other CPUs including Arduino, Teensy, ChipKit, PIC MPUs can be connected with a suitable cable adapter. The board is compatible with both 3V3 and 5V signalling (3V3 coprocessors need to supply a 3V3 reference voltage to the card via a dedicated pin on the connector).<br /> <br /> == Key Features ==<br /> <br /> Here is a list of the key features:<br /> <br /> * suitable for all CPC models<br /> ** uses a 50W box connector for compatibility with popular expansion boards<br /> * compatible with external processors using either 5V or 3.3V IO signalling<br /> * RaspberryPi compatible socket on rear<br /> ** plug in a Pi Zero and power directly from the FIFO card<br /> ** other (larger) Pi models or other CPUs incl.

There are no devices which need programming and all parts are in through-hole packages to make for a board which is easily assembled even by a beginner.<br /> <br /> This card supports all 6128, 464 Plus and 6128 Plus machines but is not suitable for the older 464 and 664 computers.<br /> <br /> The board is fully compatible with the DK'Tronics/Amstrad bank switching schemes described in the DK'Tronics Peripheral Technical Manual. <br /> <br /> Electrically, the card is very low power. In typical use it draws only a couple of mA of current which is less than a tenth that taken by other CPLD based cards. The SRAM and HCT logic components are also very tolerant of low supply voltage and the card has been tested to work even as low as 3.5V.<br /> <br /> The card has a Mother MX4 standard box connector rather than an edge connector. So to use the board you will need a Mother X4 or compatible expansion card. <br /> <br /> This is a fully open source project and all code and further documentation is available on the project's [https://github.com/revaldinho/cpc_ram_expansion GitHub pages] and [https://github.com/revaldinho/cpc_ram_expansion/wiki/CPC-512K-RAM-Expansion wiki.]<br /> <br /> The bare PCB is available from SeeedStudio via their [https://www.seeedstudio.com/Amstrad-CPC6128-512K-RAM-Expansion-Card-g-1136535 Seeed Gallery pages]. <br /> <br /> Bare PCBs or fully assembled cards may from time to time be available also directly from Revaldinho - please PM via the Discussion Forum to check. <br /> <br /> [[Category:Peripherals]] [[Category:Memory expansions]]<br /> [[Category:Stub]]</div>

<p>Revaldinho: Add Old School RAM expansion to standard expansion page</p> <hr /> <div>The '''standard''' memory expansions are often credited to [[Dk'tronics]] and [[Dobbertin]] (not sure which company initially developed it though). There's also an '''extended standard''' which may be credited to probably [[RAM7]] (seen at least in comp.sys.amstrad.8bit FAQ v0.90, 11 september 1997) or [[Yarek]].<br /> <br /> == Technical ==<br /> <br /> The standard expansions are based on the RAM banking logic from the CPC6128. This is handled by a PAL16L8 but to the programmer it appears to be the fourth register in the [[Gate Array]].<br /> <br /> The I/O decoding is different to the Gate-Array.<br /> * PAL16L8 decodes A15=0 only<br /> * Gate-Array decodes A15=0 and A14=1<br /> <br /> To access the RAM and Gate-Array port 7fxx is used. In addition the RAM answers when the data has bit 7=1 and bit 6=1, which is unused in the Gate-Array. <br /> <br /> External expansions have their own PAL or hardware which performs the same operation. Later CPC revisions with the costdown ASIC and the Plus have the RAM expansion logic inside their ASICs.<br /> <br /> ----<br /> <br /> === Simple 64K Expansion (CPC6128-style) ===<br /> <br /> * Accessing a 64K expansion (or the first 64K of a bigger expansion) is compatible to the 128K in the CPC6128<br /> * For full CPC6128 compatibility one may need some patches (eg. CP/M Plus will still refuse to work; because it &quot;detects&quot; the 128K by checking the BASIC ROMs version number)<br /> <br /> ----<br /> <br /> === Standard 128K-512K Expansions (dk'tronics/dobbertin-style) ===<br /> <br /> Expansions bigger than 64K combine the CPC6128-style mapping with some formerly unused bits in the value written to the RAM select:<br /> <br /> Port 7Fxxh:<br /> 7-6 Must be both set to 1 <br /> 5-3 Bank number in 64K units (for expansions bigger than 64K) (max = 512K)<br /> 2.0 RAM configuration as on CPC6128 taken from the selected bank<br /> <br /> '''Caution''' - The 64K bank numbers don't always start at bank 0 (In the Dk'tronics 256K Silicon Disc, the 64K banks are numbered 4..7).<br /> <br /> ----<br /> <br /> === Extended 1M-4M Expansions (RAM7/Yarek-style) ===<br /> <br /> Expansions bigger than 512K extend that above standard. The LSBs of the 64K bank number is kept in D5-D3 data bits (as above), the MSBs of the 64K bank number are in A10-A8 address bits. Typically in inverted form (so the first 512K block is accessed via Port 7Fxxh, the next via 7Exxh, etc.<br /> <br /> OUT [01111aaaxxxxxxxx],11bbbccc<br /> aaa = upper bits of 64K bank selection (512K-step) (A8,A9,A10 bits)<br /> bbb = lower bits of 64K bank selection (64K-step) (D3,D4,D5 bits)<br /> ccc = configuration (as in CPC6128)<br /> xxxxxxxx = should be set so that it doesn't conflict with other ports (*)<br /> <br /> (*) For example 7B01h or 7B7Fh would be no good, because the FDC command register at FB7Fh is mirrored to these locations. Using 7B80h..7BFFh would fix that problem, but might conflict with other connected expansion hardware.<br /> <br /> * '''Compatibility''' - The first 512K (Port 7Fxxh) are fully compatible with dk'tronics. Using the next 1.5MB (Port 7Exxh,7Dxxh,7Cxxh) should work without conflicting with the other hardware expansions.<br /> <br /> * '''Compatibility Problems''' - The last 2MB (Port 7Bxxh,7Axxh,79xxh,78xxh) can conflict with other hardware. As workaround: Either leave them unused, or use values for &quot;xx&quot; that do not conflict with your hardware (which values are good for &quot;xx&quot; and which aren't good depends on what other hardware you have connected) (and obviously, different &quot;xx&quot; may be needed in 7Bxxh as in 7Axxh, for example).<br /> <br /> == Capacity ==<br /> <br /> Standard expansions can contain between 64K and 512K memory.<br /> <br /> * A '''nnK expansion''' adds '''nn Kbytes''' to the internal '''64 Kbytes''' in the CPC. So the resulting total size is '''nn+64 Kbytes'''.<br /> * That '''nn+64 Kbytes''' formula does in most (or all) cases also apply on the '''CPC 6128''':<br /> ** only 64 Kbytes of it's internal memory are used<br /> ** the 2nd half of internal memory is disabled and replaced by the expansion RAM<br /> ** so, the resulting size is only nn+64 Kbytes, not nn+128 Kbytes<br /> <br /> == Standard Expansions ==<br /> <br /> * [[Dk'tronics memory expansion|Dk'tronics Memory Expansion and Silicon Disc]] - 64K and 256K expansions<br /> * [[Dobbertin Memory Expansion]]<br /> * [[RAM BOX]]<br /> * [[SYMBiFACE II]] - includes (among others) 512K RAM expansion<br /> * [[X-MEM]]<br /> * [[Old_School_512K_RAM_Expansion]]<br /> <br /> == Extended-Standard Expansions ==<br /> <br /> * [[RAM7 2MB memory expansion]] ([[RAM7]]) - compatible with standard 512 Kbyte expansion (plus extra extended-standard 1.5 MBbyte)<br /> * [[CPC4MB]] ([[Yarek]]) (DIY) - compatible with standard 512 Kbyte expansion (plus extra extended-standard 3.5 MBbyte)<br /> <br /> == Semi-Standard Expansions ==<br /> <br /> * [[Aleste 520EX]] - a CPC clone that allows to access 256K (of its total 512K memory) in Inicron-style fashion (ie. as on a 64K computer with 192K expansion which can be mapped to 4000h..7FFFh).<br /> * [[Inicron RAM-Box]] - not fully compatible with standard expansions (can map expansion RAM only to 4000h..7FFFh).<br /> <br /> == Non-Standard Expansions ==<br /> <br /> * [[c't 512 KB internal RAM expansion]] - works similar to dk'tronics expansions, but, alltogether, there isn't much compatibility between c't and dk'tronics.<br /> * [[Otten &amp; Fecht 1 MB RAM-Disc]] - Accessed through I/O ports (RAM is not mapped to memory)<br /> * [[Vortex Expansions RAM card]] - an older expansion, uses 32K-banks, not compatible with the later standard<br /> <br /> == Expansions that are unknown how they work, and if they are standard or not ==<br /> <br /> * [[Data Media Memory Expansion]] - an older thing, said to be not dk'tronics compatible, nothing else known<br /> * [[Phoenix M64]] - all unknown<br /> <br /> <br /> [[Category:Hardware]][[Category:Memory expansions| ]][[Category:DATA Storage]][[Category:Expansion ROM]][[Category:Peripherals|*]]</div>
