> PT-110 Additional memory
* Experiment
What happens if EDO memory is installed ?
Some machines, like the HP-200LX, work fine.
However, the PT PC-110 recognizes but freezes during operation.
It comes from changes in EDO memory.
The memory access procedure can be understood by looking at the timing chart in the data sheet.
The procedure is as follows.
1) Set the RAS of the BANK to be accessed to Lo (active)
2) Set the row address
3) Set CAS to Lo (active)
4) Set the column address
5) Data is output
6) Set CAS to Hi (pause)
7) Set RAS to Hi (pause)
* Data can be written by operating write enable (WE) before and after this flow.
The data output of 5) is different between FP and EDO.
In FP, the output of data is stopped by the operation of 6), but in EDO,
it continues to be output. It can be determined that it is the cause of the freeze.
Therefore, if you input a CAS signal to the output enable (OE) signal that is normally connected to Vss, the data output will stop when the CAS is paused.
There are two types of CAS, HCAS and LCAS, but they are signals with the same behavior for the reasons I wrote earlier. It works with either input.
* Designed for 16MB memory
Each BANK recognizes up to 16MB. 16MB can be achieved by using two 65165.
Comparing the 16160 and 65165 pinouts, we can say that:
1) There is no big difference between Vcc and Vss
(It is not necessary to connect all, but connecting many is more stable)
2) I / O layout is the same
3) The address lines are similar, but there are some differences
4) WE, OE, RAS, LCAS, HCAS are in different positions.
However, before and after the move, NC or originally does not exist.
The address line is 65165, and A0-A9 with the same role are swappable.
Similarly, A10-A11 is swappable. (I wrote the reason last time)
Therefore, the following changes are required to mount the 65165 on a genuine 4MB memory board.
1) Address line cut off and swap
Pin19 <-> pin32
Pin20 <-> pin31
2) Control signal jumper
Pin17-> pin13 (WE)
Pin18-> pin14 (RAS2)
Pin34-> pin37 (UCAS) & pin36 (OE)
Pin35-> pin38 (LCAS)
