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 />
