 Re: Expansion port pin

@SVS
Don't make confusion: "LOW" and "HIGH" are not referred to the logic level, but at which slice of memory maps they are representing...
Historically each "selecting line" is always (normally) active on low logic level, than it can be directly connected to /CS of the relative ROM chip:
ROM can be internal (function low, function high, basic, kernal) or external (Roms inside the cartridge as games or SW tools..).

 Re: Expansion port pin

Thank you for the replies.
But looking at http://www.zimmers.net/anonftp/pub/cbm/schematics/computers/plus4/Plus_4_Technical_Docs.pdf page 23: on the table there are C2HI and C2LOW too. In the explainations (bottom) are cited /C1LOW and C1HI.

 Re: Expansion port pin

Most, if not all, control signals are low active as the system is designed with NMOS ICs. C1 Low should be too.

 Expansion port pin

A simple question: pin B of the expansion port is C1LOW or /C1LOW (negate)?
Over zimmer.net I see that, for a typo, there are both these descriptions.
