GENERAL INFORMATION
I.I . INTRODUCTiON.
1-2. The RAN'I-BCBE shown in Figure l-l provides a low cost nreans of expanding RAl4
and para11e1 I/0 for a ZB0 microcomputer systenr. The RAPl-80tsE is a peripheral
board wh'i ch can be d i rect'ly 'i nte rf aced to t he M0STEK ZB0 Sof tware Devel opme nt
Board (SDB-B0E) or any ZB0 Microprocessor based system.
I-3. GENERAL DESCRIPTION.
l-4. FUNCTI0i'lAL. The RAl,i-B0BE is a cornbj nat jon n:emory and I/0 expansion board.
The mernory niay be configured to have a rilemory capacity of l6K, 32K,48K, or 65K
bytes of RAivi. This on-board memory expandabil ity is rnade possible by population
options of ejther eight, sixteen, twenty-four or thirty-two i,lK4l l6-4 (16,384x1 i\10S
dynarnic RAI"I) menrories. The RAM-B0BE provides strapping options for positioning
the decoded memory space to start on any l6K address boundary. In addjtion to the
add-on memory, the RAM-B0BE provides four B-bit I/0 ports from the two on-board
l,iK3BBl ZB0 PI0 circuits. Each I/0 port 'is fu11y TTL buf fered and has two
handshake ljnes per I/0 port. The RAM-B0BE also includes logic for a "Page Mode
0peration" which permits up to l rnega-byte (sixteen 65KxB RAltl-B0B[s) to be used'in
a singie SDB-B0E system.
l-5. PHYSICAL. The RAM-B0BE is implenrented on a double Eurocard pri nted ci rcur't
board. The board requires three DC voltages at levels of +5, +12, and -12 VDC.
The RAIvI-B0BE'is interfaced to a system by connectors SKl and SK2.

accessorjes. Table l-2 lists the overal 1 specif jcations for the RAivl-B0BE. Table
l-3 lists the pin usage of connectors SKl and SK2.
