Board contain two jumpers for select one of four possible 8kB rom pages = up to 4 different systems. This is possible only if you connect 32kB EEPROM chip 28C256. Also can be used original 8kB eeprom and both jumpers will ignored.

Next two jumpers select address of I/O ports of RTC chip. Is possible select one of this ports:
#xx03 (jumpers J3 and J4 open) - 12bit address decoding (A15-A12 are ignored)
#7x3B (jumper J3 closed and J4 open) - full 16bit address decoding
#CxEF (jumper J3 open and J4 closed) - full 16bit address decoding
Inhibit RTC chip (jumpers J3 and J4 are both closed)
Address lines A8-A11 are always used for select number of register in RTC chip. All RTC ports are writeable and readable.

RTC module contain also own kempston joystick interface with full 8bit address decoded port #1F, but also use jumper for active joypad mode (here are used two joystick ports #1F and #5F.
Jumper "8_BUTTONS" is open:
- is used only one kempston joystick port #1F with full 8bit address decoding (A7-A0=BIN 00011111) and M1 line is ignored.
Jumper "8_BUTTONS" is connect:
- are used two ports for communication with joypads
- port #1F is read only and use full 8bit address decoding (A7-A0=BIN 00011111)
- port #5F is read only and use full 8bit address decoding (A7-A0=BIN 01011111)
- aech reding of ports #000111xx reset signal "SELECT" on joypad connector
- aech reding of ports #010111xx set signal "SELECT" on joypad connector

On board are two joystick connectors, but each use different pinout and only one joystick/jopad can be connect. Horisontal joystick connector use Amiga compatible pinout and support amiga/atari joysticks with up to 3 fire buttons. Also real amiga mouse(with up to 3 buttons) can be connect for controll in some ZX games with A-MOUSE driver. Vertical joystick connector use pinout compatible with SEGA GENESIS/SEGA MASTER SYSTEM joypads with up to 8 fire buttons, but also amiga/atari joystick can be connect here. Both connectors contain +5V and GND for autofire support.

Jumper "DISABLE KEMPSTON" - CLOSE=joystick disable

Jumper "DISABLE RTC" - CLOSE=rtc disable (same as previous inhibit function)

VELESOFT, на DivMMC будет работать? Доступен драйвер RTC?
Попробую добавить в конфигурацию для ReVerSE. Для U16 я планирую поддержать USB joypad http://zx-pk.ru/showpost.php?p=724979&postcount=29

System ESXDOS support RTC driver and is supported on DIVIDE and on DIVMMC (same drivers). But now exist RTC module only for original DIVIDE interface. In future will exist also RTC chip for DIVMMC.

If any ZX clone use own RTC chip then you can write software driver for it. Limit is now only 256bytes. You can contact author of ESXDOS or send me small routine that read values from your rtc chip and I can make new RTC driver. :-)

VELESOFT,

А конструктивно он подходит к каким версиям divIDE ?
У вас на фото 5.7d3

Подойдет ли например к 5.7с ?

RTC module is designed for all DIVIDE 57x models. DIVIDE 57b,57c,57d,57d2,57d3 use identical positions of sockets for EEPROM,MGAL and 74xx245. RTC module is connect to this sockets... (need only same positions of sockets)

And I plan software support for more fire buttons in ZX games. Similarly as on my webpage with modified software for K-MOUSE I plan modify some ZX games for joypad buttons. For example TOMAHAWK,....

Picture with RTC MODULE features:


New utility for test KEMPSTON JOYSTICK and SEGA JOYPAD (6/8 buttons). Without RTC MODULE is this utility usable for testing classic kempston joystick.

Theoretically is possible make small joystick splitter for connection to vertical connector (connector for joypad). With this splitter will possible connect two josticks (joystick 1 = kempston on port #1F with two fire buttons, joystick 2 = same as kempston but on port #5F). For stable functionality must be resistor R14 on RTC MODULE replaced with resistor 0 Ohm.
