PLUS 4 OVERVIEW
The Plus 4 system isbased on the 7501 microprocessor, anHMOS version of the 6510. Video pro-
cessing is achieved bythe 7360 TED chip. 64K bytes of dynamic RAM areaccomplished by 8 (64K
x 1) I.C.'s. (See page ).The system program iscontained in2 (16K x 8) ROMs. The system supports
up to 128K x 8 of ROMbanked in16K sections. By software control, through the 7360, ROM can
be completely banked out and RAM banked infor atrue 64K of RAM (minus 256 bytepages), allow-
ing 60,671 bytes available for BASIC.
Keyboard and joystick scanning are accomplished by outputting the row data onthe data buswhile
addressing aparticular register inthe TED chip. This will inturn cause the TED chip to latch the column
information.
Astandard serial port supports serial bus peripherals such asthe 1541 disk drive andthe various
serial printers. Acassette port isprovided andthe expansion port supports ROM cartrdiges. TTL serial
ASCII is intended to drive anRS-232 adapter.

Troubleshooting Aides
NOTE: Visual inspection is critical in this unit!
••
The upright position of many of the components used on the
board can create problems. It is possible for them to be
shorted to the shield or to each other. Make sure they are
evenly spaced and do not contact the shield.
Areas of the PCB particularly vulnerable to this
problem are:
Bottom right corner -caps
Bottom center -Jl-J6
Bottom left -Q3 shorted to FB57
Top left -ferrite beads
Center -Twisted caps (just outside of RF can)
1) NO VIDEO -Absolutely no video on screen
A) Check for 5volts
O.K. If not: 1) Check fuse
2) Check for twisted or bent caps
++ ((5V. short to ground)
3) Check Ll
B) Check for oscillation at pin 14of Ul
O.K. If not: 1) Check for good connection at
pin 14of Ul
++ 2) Check for good connection at
Rl thru R7
C) Check for LUM signal at pin 23of Ul, at pin 4of
the modulator, at pin 8of the modulator, at FB3
and at pinl of CN7
O.K. If not: 1) Check for LUM signal shorted
to ground
++ 2) Check for open traces
3) Check modulator
D) Check for reset
O.K.
++
E) Check for control signals:
