Schneiderware V/24 Interface

481 bytes added, 21:49, 30 September 2010
The [[ECB Bus]] connector of the board is intended to be plugged into the [[Schneiderware Basisplatine]], but it could be also wired directly to the CPCs Expansion Port. The V/24 board additionally requires a [[Schneiderware Power Supply]] (or another external power supply with +12V/-12V).

== Jumper Problems ==
'''Caution''' - The '''clock source''' can be jumpered to 2MHz (default), or to 1MHz. Moreover, the '''handshaking''' signals (CTS/RTS, DTR/DSR) can be disabled via jumpers. There is no good reason for using the 1MHz setting, nor for disabling handshaking at hardware level - these features are only "good" for provoking compatibility problems with software that expects the jumpers to be set to this or that position.
