Re: ZXpand-AY Sound Module (Two 8 bit I/O ports control)

That's right the +5vdc and ground are there. You provided the PCB pad layout in the other posting that showed the I/O.

Schematics look good too.

Thanks for the great work Sir Morris!

Re: ZXpand with Hires games

Thanks Rich! I'll look through them all tonight. Nice Hires programs.

Hopefully they have the MEM and MAXDEMO programs too.

Re: screen flickers, smirs even after power reset with ZXpan

I mailed TS1000 unit 1 (with unsoldered ZXULA-2) and Z80 to Andy tonight.

Please let me know your findings and if it can be used or if a ZXVid needs to be used like my working TS1000 unit 2 (with ZXVid).

Thanks,

Tim

Re: ZXpand with Hires games

I received my ZXpand and ZXpand-AY card last week and I have a few questions on where to get P files at. I have a few I found online but I would like to get the MAXDEMO, MEM, REVENGE, etc. as seen in the ZXpand youtube video. I also have an Atari style joystick and I found the CMDR SP2 program and r...

Re: ZXpand-AY Sound Module (Two 8 bit I/O ports control)

Is there a chance of getting schematics to the ZXpand and ZXpand-AY? To use the I/O ports I'll need to at least access to ground and +5vdc would be nice too. I found the older MrX-Soundcard manual and in the back was guidelines about the I/O. It looks like I was correct or pretty close to what was n...

ZXpand-AY Sound Module (Two 8 bit I/O ports control)

From what I have been able to tell from the ZON-X81 manual and the Yamaha YM2149 datasheet to control the two 8 bit I/O data ports all I need to do is the following: 1. Set R7 (register 7) control first for noise and tone being off and either port B or A as output or input. Output B & Output A = FFh...

Re: screen flickers, smirs even after power reset with ZXpan

Rich, I would like to send you my TS1000 unit 1 (with unsoldered ZX-ULA2 and upgraded Z80). Hopefully Andy can figure out why it was having problems with the ZXpand and ZXpand-AY and come up with a workable solution. Worst case he can solder in a ZXVid and send it back if he can't figure out a solut...

Re: screen flickers, smirs even after power reset with ZXpan

I have spent my weekend trying to troubleshoot using the ULA-2 with a ZXpand and a ZXpand-AY together in a TS1000. I shouldn't have to do all of this but at first was interested in a simple fix but have many hours of testing I have come to the conclusion that my TS1000 unit 2 (no ULA-2) with ZXvid c...

Re: screen flickers, smirs even after power reset with ZXpan

The stock TS1000 power supply says 9.75VDC @ 650mA and I read 12.7vdc on it. I read 10.6 vdc in and 4.96 vdc out at the 7805 initial before I had the ZXpand-AY and ULA-2. After connecting everything up I read no voltage drop or very small. I purchased from Radio Shack a 3/4.5/6/7.5/9/12 VDC @ 1 Amp ...
