controller keyboard, the current is not more than 400 mA.



         2. Connecting the controller


   The controller has 5 connectors:

- X1 - 5-pin for IBM-Keyboard (Table 2)
- X2 - 10-pin male connector for mouse Microsoft (Table 3)
- H3/H4 - System 60-pin connector to connect to the system
  dark jack computer SCORPION ZS (Table 1)
- X5 - 10-pin male connector for connecting the controller
  pa to the data line standard keyboard and buttons ZX MAGIC 
(Tabley   tsa 4)

- X6 - 10-pin male connector for passive

  mice (Table 5)


   To connect the controller to the board SCORPION ZS must:

- Connect one to one "system controller slots H3/H4
 Boards SCORPIONa (Table 1), considering that for the 
convenience of plug controller connected radiation 
constructively deployed in its plane by 180 ° compared with the 
connector SCORPIONa, that is, if  board computer and controller 
card to put on the table details  up and rotate so that the 
system board connectors looked  each other, then the top and 
bottom slots correspond to each other, and the numbering is the 
opposite. X3 - contacts with  side parts (top). X4 - contacts 
from the mounting (bottom). 

 When you connect the controller using the ribbon cable to its 
length should not exceed 50mm. It is best to use the broadened 
Tel connector system, manufactured by us and allowing chit 
connected to the system connector of up to 3 peripherals odnov 
belt, in other words, it's slots. 

- Connect a separate trail connector X5 controller connector
