5 Selection links and circuit changes<br />

5.1 Selection Link Survey<br />

Here is a survey of the options which may be selected on the<br />

<strong><strong>Micro</strong>computer</strong> by selection links S1 to S39. These links may take the<br />

form of tracks on the circuit board which can be cut, soldered wire :<br />

inks, or shorting jumpers, plugging on to the rows of pins. This is<br />

followed by a tabular survey of the options selected in production on a<br />

standard model B <strong><strong>Micro</strong>computer</strong>.<br />

Option Select Links are as follows:-<br />

1. Used only on issue 4 and succeeding boards to select printer strobe<br />

or direct output from CA2.<br />

2. OPEN enables ECONET NMI<br />

CLOSED disables ECONET NMI<br />

- Do not fit this link with IC91 in place.<br />

3. Clock base frequency selection for ECONET<br />

Not used after issue 3.<br />

4. EAST selects 5 1/4" disc<br />

WEST selects 8" disc.<br />

- This changes the pin connection of the "side select" line on the<br />

disc interface.<br />

5. NORTH enables ECONET clock<br />

SOUTH disables ECONET clock.<br />

- Not used after issue 3.<br />

6. NORTH divides ECONET clock by 2<br />

SOUTH divides ECONET clock, by 4.<br />

- Not used after issue 3.<br />

7. WEST applies 4-5v to pin 30 of disc controller (IC78).<br />

EAST applies 0v to pin 30 of disc controller.<br />

- Readable by software, bit 0 of the result register of the 8271. Not<br />

used.<br />

8. CLOSED links disc head load signal to PL8.<br />

OPEN isolates disc head load signal from PL8.<br />

9. CLOSED disables DISC NMI.<br />

OPEN enables DISC NMI.<br />

Do not fit 1C78 with this link closed. Due to PCB faults, various.<br />

different modifications are necessary with different issue boards in<br />

order to use the disc interface. (See section 4, modification D.)<br />
