SECTION ONE
System Specifications
1. Introduction
The MZ-ssOO series is the first 16-bit MZ series persona) computer in which
the Intel's 8086 is used for the CPU.
It has been designed \· .dth intense care for man-machine interface: th e mOllSt ~ ,
the bit map display system, and the multiwindow display function are
introduced to the MZ-5500 series.
It has the system RAM area of 128KB (MZ-5511) ur 256KB (HZ-5521) as standard
and :i. t can also be expanded to sl , 2KB at a max imum.
The
96KB video RAM area 1s provided standard and it also can be expanded to
192KB, permitting clear color graphie displaying.
Up to two units of 320KB (formatted) mini-floppy disk drives can be
internally installed, and the OS (Operating System) is contained in the
5.25" disk media. The OS supports CP/M-86 and MS-DOS as option.
Not only the MZ~s600 series succeeds all functions and features from the
MZ-5500 series, but, it also permits the following external me~ory expansion
and higher processing speed.
1) 8MHz/5MHz selective for operation of the 8086-11 epu.
2) Implementation of the 640KB (form~tted), 5.25
11
floppy disk drive.
3) Use of the 10.7MB (formatted), 5.25" hard disk (MZ-s64s).
Not only the MZ-s645 has one unit of the internal llard disk drive, it also
enhances expansion to 21.4MB when the MZ-IF18 external hard disk drive is
added (applicable ' for the 200V version only).
The MZ-S600 enables absorption of the software cre~ted on the MZ-S500
series.
Since the 8086-11 is adopted. improvement has been achieved for higher
processing speed and graphie speed, and consideration is given for the real
time processing of the software developed on the MZ-5500 in the SMHz mode.
Such as CP/M-86, MS-DOS, MZ-3500series BASIC, and GW-BASTC are availabie as
option.
,
Because the MZ-S600 series is a up-graded model for
.
the MZ-SSOO and lias
been developed on the basis of MZ-SsOO peripherals and software,
eonsideration has been given for compatibility in basic terms.
See Table-l for individual model configurations of the ~IZ-5s00 series and
MZ-s600 series~

SECTION TWO
Hardware Specifications
1. CPU peripheral
For the CPU of the MZ-5500 is used the 16-bit CPU (8086) which has be~ me
the main trend and is driven by 5MHz clock. On the other h~nd, the 8086-11
is adopted for the MZ-5600 which permits 8MHz/5MHz selection for driving
clock. In the 5MHz mode, compatibility is obtained for the real time
processing for applica~ions developed on the MZ-5500.
Th e 8086/8086-11 has features shown in Iable 1-1, and has two modes of
minimum and maximum allowing choice of pin configuration according to the
size of the system used. lt consists of the execution unit (EU) and the bus
interface unit (BIU); the B1U manages 6-byte command queue and performs
address generation, and the EU interprets command function. Each unit
operates in the async mode and enhances high throughput by the use of the
pipe line processing.
It is possible to directly access the memory up to Uili ,. Using AO and BHE
lines of the 8086, da ta may be used as either 8-bit or 16-bit data.
Since the 8086/8086-11 , is operated under the maximum mode for the
MZ-SSOO/5600, it requires the 8284 Clock Generator and tUe 8288 Bus
Controller in order to operate the 8086 as the CPU. Not only the 8284
supplies the clock (4.9152HHz) to the 8086, but, it has the funetion to
' synchronize the READY signal generated in the ready control circuit with the
clock to send it to the CPU. Tlle 8288 is the bus controller/driver when the
8086 is operated in the maximum mode. Command and control signals are
decoded from the status output, SO - S2, from the CPU to issue control
signal to the 1/0 device and the memory.
As a ccprocessor for a high speed numerical operation of the 8086, it
permits direct connection of the 8087 (MZ-5500), 8087-11 (MZ5600), and NDP
(option). In terms of software, it can be assumed , as an expansion of the
8086/8086-11 cornrnand system. AsTable 1-2 shows its execution speed, it
becomes 100 times [aster than operated with only the 8086/8086-11.
For key entry of the MZ-SSOO/5600, the ' exclusive 80C49 subprocessor is used.
A kcy entry is transferred by means of interrupt only when there was a key
entry so that it decreases the burden to the 8086 and allows faster system
operation. The 80C49 is also used for handling of the mouse data.
Iable 1-1 Features of 8086, 8086-11
(1) 16-bit microprocessor
(2) Rasic commands: 90
(3) Direct acc~ssing enabled 1MB memory space
(4) 14 x 16 bits register
(5) Arithmetical operation of signed or unsigned 8 or 16 bits data
including mu1tiplication and division
(6) SMHz, single clock (8086)/8HHz (8086-11)
(7) Maskable (INTR) and non-maskable (NM1) external interrupt input
(8) Dual mode operation (minimum/maximum)
(9) N-channel MOS

o RESET, READY circuit
RESET
J
Für reset of the 8086 CPU, tI,e alarm signal from the power supply unit and a
rising edge at the time of power on are detected by the CR network. RESET
signal to tile CPU is internally synchronized with CLK ' by the 8284A. For the
alarm timing, refer to the paragraph which discussed the power supply.
READY
For the MZ-550lVS600 is normally a non-ready . system, the ready signal is
returned to the CPU against a valid accessing. Actually, memory and 1/0
decode signal is inputted to the 8284A, but, RDY is delayed in the wait
timing circuit in synchronization with CLK for a device that requires wait.
\.Jhen the 1/0 aIld memory of the XACK area is accessed, the ready signal of
timeout . is automatically returned unless XACK is returned within 130ps, and
I.
NMI i8 issued to the CPU at the same time.
Fig.1-5 shows the block diagram of the MZ-5600 RESET and READY circuits and
Table 1-4- shows wait count required for device. llowever, on the MZ-5500, the
