Add Cent Pour Cent [dot net] download page into the MiniBooster section.
* The source code is also kept (and maintained?) with the Linux CPC SDK here: [https://code.google.com/p/cpcsdk/source/browse/trunk/resources/CPC_BOOSTER CPC Booster Plus at CPC SDK]
* A local copy of the source code/schematics is also preserved here: [[File:CPCBoosterPlus.zip|CPCBoosterPlus.zip]]
* There are also some files available here (don't appear particularly useful): [http://cpcrulez.fr/hardware-cpcboosterserie-interface_cpcbooster_plus.htm CPC Booster on cpcrulesCPCrulez.fr]
* This is the zip file from that page: [[File:CPCBooster.zip|CPCBooster.zip]]
* Latest dated source code is December 2010
* The schematic is not complete, but the PCB layout is
 
== MiniBooster ==
 
The MiniBooster is similar to the CPC Booster, with these differences:
 
The MiniBooster lacks all the CPCBooster+ "older" connectors to reduce the board size and to be more versatile.
Instead, it mainly provides a blutooth socket and a 16-pin connector that allow to add some modules and expansions like:
 
* Serial's USB, RS232, RS485, Ethernet, WIFI... TTL Modules.
* SPI's SD Card, RTC, LCD... Custom expansions.
 
Also note:
* INP(&FF00) returns 170. (It is a booster board)
* INP(&FF01) returns 238 on a MiniBooster, but 85 on a CPCBooster.
 
That allows to know witch board is used and properly set the device speed and supported features.
The CPU of the Mini-Booster is more quick than the CPU in the CPC Booster.
