- Part 1 IMP
-
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------
- | Note IMPORTANT |
- | |
- | for use on some boards such as the earlier 'ROS' boards use 'RX' |
- | and 'TX' disabling 1k block request otherwise you will hang on a |
- | transfer of more than 128 blocks |
- | |
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- I2B-SCC.ASM - MicroBee 128k computer with 8530 (SCC) hardware
- installed as per MicroBee drawing 8432-4-01
-
- test version started 25/02/87 by Tony Ellis VK2ZNH
-
- interrupts from 8530, no autocall when used with BeeModem
- having 300 1200/75 and 75/1200 baud options. Autocall with 'Hayes' types.
-
- to implement the split rates pin 3 must be connected to pin 6 on Port A
-
- DTR does not have an RS232 driver, so RTS is toggled at the same time and
- can be used instead of DTR for that function ( it does have a driver )
-
- high-speed options upto 57600 baud provided for direct bee-to-another
- micro links.
-
- imp244.obj patched - replaced 110 bps option with 75/1200 bps option
- and 600 bps with 1200/75 option (consequently times shown for split baud
- rate transfers are incorrect !!
-
- operates in full duplex with split baud rates using port A
- (that is the one nearest to the DIN power connector)
- NB this is different to Telcom which uses Port B
-
- Split rates
- Selecting speed of 75 bps gives Tx = 1200 bps Rx = 75 bps
- Selecting speed of 1200 bps gives Tx = 75 bps Rx = 1200 bps (normal use)

- Part 2 Construction Notes
-
- Parts list
- G2 Crystal 3.6864 MHz source Geoff Wood in Lane Cove
- X3 D15 right angle female type 15SCA Port B
- X4 D15 right angle female type 15SCA Port A
- IC42 Zilog 8530 SCC source George Brown on Paramatta Road
- IC43 74LS04
- IC44 74LS164
- IC45 1489
- IC46 74LS74
- IC47 1488
- IC48 74LS32
- IC50 7660
- Sockets to suit (Makes fault finding much easier - use good quality dual-wipe)
- C44-51 .1 mfd chip monolithic
- C53-55 .1 mfd chip monolithic
- C56 10 mfd Tantalum
- C57 10 mfd Tantalum
- R8 4.7k resistor
- D3 OA91 or similar
- D4 IN914/IN4148 or similar
- D5 IN914/IN4148 or similar
-
- A Larger Heatsink for the two 5 volt Rectifiers is needed for reliability.
- The one (or two on some early machines) are just not effective enough.
-
- N.B. HARD-DISK owners. (only, and not applicable to all harddisk machines)
-
- 1. The W3 123 pads beside the SCC need changing to put the SCC second priority
- in the Interrupt daisy chain. On the none-component side cut the link between
- W3-2 and W3-3 and make a connection between W3-1 and W3-2. This ensures the
- hard-disk is still the highest priority.
-
- 2. The 4Mhz oscillator is needed for the SCC clock. Therefore the following
- parts must all be installed. Fit any that are missing.
- IC40 74LS04
- G1 4 MHz crystal
- C39 .01 mfd
- C40 220pf
- R4,R5 1k resistor

- Connection Details for Port A and Port B
-
- pin 1 +10.5 volts
- pin 2 RTS RS232 level
- pin 3 TRxC TTL level
- pin 4 DTR TTL level
- pin 5 RTS TTL level
- pin 6 RTxC
- pin 7 NC
- pin 8 DCD TTL level
- pin 9 TxD RS232 level
- pin 10 TxD TTL level
- pin 11 CTS RS232 level
- pin 12 -9 volts
- pin 13 RxD RS232 level
- pin 14 +5 volts
- pin 15 GND
-
- Note: there is an internal connection between pin 3 Port A and pin 3 Port B
- on the PC board.
-
- Some things to be aware of:-
-
- 1. Make sure your power supply is no more than 10.5 volts - otherwise the
- 7660 IC gets a bit upset...
-
- 2. If using a long ribbon cable on Port B, then cut the clock line close to
- the 'Bee connector, or otherwise the oscillator may be unreliable.
-
- 3. Some Version 3 boards will not work without a capacitor on the write line
- to supress a glitch. This can be fixed by adding a 47 to 220pf capacitor
- be-tween pins 3 and 7 of IC33. This is NOT needed on Version 4 boards.

- Part 3 Telcom Notes
-
- To use BeeModem with Telcom 2.3 use Port B (i.e. one nearest disk cable)
-
- Make a D15 male to D25 pin female adaptor cable as follows
- 15 pin connector 25 pin Connector
- pin 1 pin 9 +10.5 volts
- pin 9 pin 2 TxData
- pin 11 pin 5 CTS
- pin 13 pin 3 RxData
- pin 15 pin 7 GND
-
- Select port 2 on the Telcom Menu and off you go!
-
- The information here is correct to the best of my knowledge. Please leave a
- message describing any omissions or needed corrections which will go into the
- next version. Leave me a note on SMUG bulletin board if you have problems ...
- (02) 476 6396 ... or the MicroBee Conference ...
-
- In information from AAPRA (the Packet Radio people) is seems that there
- is a track missing on some 128k core-boards that affects the SCC. The missing
- track is from IC49 pin 4 or IC41 pin 1 (which are connected) to IC33 pins 2
- and 4. Check your board, and if missing, fit it. It affects the chip reset and
- on a few boards has stopped the SCC from working properly.
