1. Basic functions.
This controller can work: a) as
cache memory; b) replace system pages -
new ROM with downloadable firmware. In bu-
in the future it will be possible to perform the functions

Used as RAM
There is a CMOS (CMOS) chip with a volume of 32 or
128 kilobytes (D8).
2. Description of work.
In this design, the cache is locked

If afterdownloads to cache RC 1.96 or
Quick 2.6 install lock program
TEST4.30, etc. will show no cache,
the XLC v3.5 program will work, and when
pressing S1 will launch COMMANDER from ke-

When "opening" the cache, trigger D3.1 is installed

Thus, the cache is always allocated

Such a connection is possible if other

hardware cache access.
To work in system replacement mode

controller ports.
Microcircuit D4 (IP26) performs
programmable decoder functions

This chip contains four
4-bit register (l.1).
Writing to the registers of the D4 microcircuit
is provided as a port with addressm 62455
(FЗF7).
The assignment of the bits of this port is as follows:
blowing:
D2 , D6 , D7 - set RAM page
controller projected to addresses #0000H-
#ЗFFFH . If the RAM capacity is 32 kilobytes -
digits D6, D7 are not taken into account. Corresponding
the effect of these bits and address inputs
D8 RAM chips are:
D2=A14 : D6=A15 : D7=A16 .
D3 and D4 - setting the system page
ROM that needs to be replaced.
In the computers "PROFI" and "PENTAGON"
correspondence of digits D3, D4 and pages
The ROM is as shown in Table 1.

Other settings are made by port with

The purpose of the bits of this port is as follows:

D3 - "1" blocking writing to ports

D4 - "0" blocking writing to RAM

After turning on the power, all digits

for example, I try not to use
take away our mikruhs, because they no longer have that
whose quality is the same as in the USSR. Bought a bunch
burnt 38bDX boards and all sorts of controllers
took a gas burner and went ahead :-).
3. Programming
Let's assume that we have installed
D8 chip with a capacity of 32kb and we need
download firmware "GlukS.3k" instead of
BAS128 and RC 1.96 in cache.
10 OUT 62455.0 ! In all categories of all
20 OUT 62455.8 ! microcircuit registers
30 OUT 62455.16 ! D4 write "0"
40 OUT 62455.24 !
50 OUT 64503.16 ! Disable blocking
! records in RAM
60 RANDOMIZE USR 15619 : REM : LOAD
"GlukS.3k" CODE 0
70 OUT 62455.48 ! Instead of 2nd page
! ROM (BAS128) is now
! will be connected
! 0th page
! Controller RAM
80 OUT 64503.6 ! Disable blocking:
! a) software
! "opening" cache
! b) reading RAM
! controller
We launch the program and after pressing
"RES" instead of the BAS128 screensaver wewe can
see the menu "GlukS.3k". Turn on re-
press clear cache, launch RC 1.96,
by pressing key "i" . Again press "RES" and exit
Option "Exit CH" launch RC 1.96.
Another sample program to download
firmware "048_ROM" instead of VACH8 and
"dos13f" in place of TR-DOS:
10 OUT 62455.0
20 OUT 62455.8
30 OUT 62455.16
40 OUT 62455.24
50 OUT 64503.16
60 RANDOMIZE USR 15619 : REM : LOAD
"dos13f" CODE 0
70 OUT 62455.12
80 RANDOMIZE USR 15619 : REM : LOAD
"048_ROM" CODE 0
90 OUT 62455.40
100 OUT 62455.32
110 OUT 62455.60
120 OUT 64503.4
Program for operating the controller in real time
RAM disk mode is currently not written
sana
4. Assembly.
Since the printed circuit boards are factory-made
cooking assembled or empty for this
there is no controller and does not “really” anticipate
you will have to assemble it on the board
own production or on a breadboard
printed circuit board. "home" technology
production of boards has been repeatedly described -
appeared in literature. From the "bourgeois"
devices for making printed materials
boards are now on sale:special
"Water-resistatn" marker and varnish-photore-
zist POSITIV 20 .
But the use of a breadboard is still
more convenient due to the possibility of simpler
making additions to the diagram.
5. Setup.
Instead of what is indicated on the circuit diagram
ME 1533 series chips can be used
Episode 555.
The structure was manufactured in the 1st production
specimen and therefore statistical data
about the performance of this scheme with other
details are missing.
Actually, adjustment may not be necessary -
xia . How to signal a ROM lock(Block ROM) depends on the computer circuit.
You might have to experiment with this.

P.S. The design is made comparatively
recently and most likely this version is not
final, but decided to publish
this development because it works quite well
