== External Connectors ==
=== Built-in connectors: pinout ===
Connectors are similar to those on CPC, but all are having slightly different pin-outs:
=== Edge Connectors ===
* [[Connector:Expansion port|Expansion port]] - Additional DMA pins, no /BUS_RESET pin
=== Female 5pin/7pin DIN Connectors ===
These have similar signals as in CPC, but totally different pin-outs as in CPC:
* [[Connector:Cassette recorder|Cassette recorder]] - Totally different pin-out, without Motor control
* [[Connector:Digital joystick|Digital joystick]] - Totally different pin-out, no COM2, no FIRE3
* [[Connector:Monitor|Monitor]] - Totally different pin-out, plus mono-sound
* [[Connector:Printer port|Printer port]] - Totally different pin-out, plus one extra pin
* [[Connector:Stereo sound|Stereo sound]] - Totally different pin-out, mono only (not real stereo)
* [[Connector:Serial Port|Serial port]] - Aleste specific(none such built-in in CPCs)
== Hardware Expansions ==
* The Turbo Mode schematic is unknown
* Turbo Mode is said to be incompatible with AMSDOS disk access for timing reasons (ie. works only with MSXDOS or so) (not sure if that's a bios/software related problem - it might also be caused by video resolution (which changes CPU and DOT clocks): working in 256/512 pix modes, but not in amstrad-style 160/320/640 pix modes)
