SECTION I
INTRODUCTION
PURPOSE
This Manual provides the technical information necessary to In,:>tall, operate dno maintair
the SUPER SIX singleboard computer by Advanced Digital Corporation.
1.2 EQUIPMENT OVER VIEW
SUPER SIX, produced by Advanced Digital Corporation, is the first single boara computer
for the S-IOO bus running at 6MHz. Without the S-100 bus the SUPER SIX can also run as
a standalone computer executing a single user CP/M 2.2 or 3.0, or amultlUser MP/M~
OASIS, or TurboDOS operating system. SUPER SIX runs substantially faster than any
other S-100 single board computer avialable in the market.
The SUPER SIX contains the following set of capabilities:
I. Z80B CPU operating at 6MHZ
2. 128K
of dynamic bank select RAM arranged in 16k banks
3. Floppy Disk Controller which supports the 8-inch and 5.25-inch disk
drives simuitaniously
4. 2/4 K of shadow EPROM (Monitor)
5. 2 serial I/O (RS-232) ports offering software or hardware selectable
baud rate, Z80B DART
6. 2
parallel ports (Z80B PIO)
7.
Real time clock (Z80B CTC)
8. DMA controller (Z80 DMA)
9. Extended addressing: A16-A23
10.
Single 5 volt supply on board
Ii. One-year warranty
12. Free copy of CP/M 2.2 BIOS supplie_d.
*NOTE: Items 5 and 6reqUire external adaptation for
RS-232 and Centronics. The adapter boards contain a
DB-25
connector on a 2-inch by 2-inch board attached to
the back panel of the S-IOO system (MODEM and RS 422
Paddle cards are also available).
