MEMORY PLUS Manual By Lee Davison and Hans Otten Back to The Computerist

					Set Up and Check Out

 The quickest way to get your new MEMORY PLUS board "up and running" with your
 MICRO is to take your time and follow all of the steps outlined below.

  1.	Carefully unpack your MEMORY PLUS board from its individual box,
	padding, and protective anti-static wrapping.  While none of the
	components on this board are unusually susceptible to static, any
	chip can be damaged (destroyed) by a large static shock.  So,
	take some care about avoiding static buildup.

  2.	Examine the board for any visible damage which may have occurred in
	shipping.  Push all IC's firmly into their sockets.  Unbend any
	capacitors which have been bent.

  3.	Read briefly the entire MEMORY PLUS manual.  Pay particular attention
	to the main sections on "POWER", "RAM Memory", "EPROM Memory", and
	"VERSATILE INTERFACE ADAPTER", but do not try to memorize everything.

  4.	Build the required connector cables following the wiring list labelled
	"MEMORY PLUS to MICRO Connections".

  4A	KIM-l ONLY;  If you are only planning to use the RAM memory to start,
	then only the expansion connector cable is required.  A wire running
	from pin E-16 of MP to A-K of KIM for the DECODE.  Remember to re-
	move the wire you currently have between pin A-K of KIM and pin A-1
	of KIM which grounds the DECODE signal for an unexpanded system.

  5.	Carefully check the cable you built for any errors or bad connections.

  6.	Set up your power for MEMORY PLUS in one of the following ways:

	a.	If you have a single +5V supply which is going to run both the
		MICRO and MEMORY PLUS (it must be capable of about 3.5 amps),
		then the following connections should be made:	EDGE OF BOARD

								1 +----------+
								  | .      . |
								  | -------- |
			MP E-21 to MICRO E-21			  | .      . |
								  | -------- |
			MP E-Y  to MICRO E-21			  | .      . |
								  | -------- |
			MP A-A  to MICRO A-A			  | .      . |
								  | -------- |
								  +---------/ 9

		The Header should be positioned with the notch at pin 9.

	b.	If you have a separate +5 regulated supply for MEMORY PLUS,
		the above connections must not be made.  The header should be
		positioned with the notch at pin 9.  Attach supply to MP E-21/
		E-Y.

	c.	If you have a +8 to +10 unregulated supply, then the above
		connections must not be made.  The header should be positioned
		with the notch at pin 1.  Attach supply to MP E-19/E-20.

  7.	Connect the MICRO and MEMORY PLUS together via the cables you have made.

  8.	Set the RAM Select Switch to the 2000 position.
