2.4 BUS CONTROL SIGNALS
All Control Signals from the
S100 bus are buffered by ICs 1H
and 3K before internal use. These
line receivers have schmitt
trigger inputs typically offering
400 millivolts hysteresis. See
Figure 2-3.
In some older mainframes
SLVCLR* is not implemented. For
use in those systems POC* (pin 99)
can be connected to SLVCLR* by 8
jumper (BRST* to POC*).

2.5 DISK PROCESSOR CONTROL PORT
The Disk Processor Control Port is an S-100 output port which
provides the host system with control of the on-board processor.
The port is strobed by the occurrence of sOUT, pWR*, and a
matching port address (BPA*). The following functions are
implemented.
1. Switch internal memory to and from the bus.
2. Issue an interrupt to the Z80A processor
3. Reset the Z80A processor.
The board reset signal BR* brings the port to the initial
state where internal memory is switched into. the S-100 bus.
Refer to Figure 2-4 for circuit details.
SLVRQ is set by date bit O.
Asserting SLVRQ* initiates the
memory switch process. SLVRQ* is
applied to the Z80A BUSRQ* pin.
When SLVRQ* (BUSRQ*) is asserted,
the Z80A tri-states its data,
address, and control lines. The
Z80A then asserts SLVACK*
(BUSACK*). Refer to the Z80A
TECHNICAL MANUAL. Assertion of
SLVACK* enables the Memory
Control circuit to respond to 8-
100 memory cycles.
Figure 2-4. Control Port
ZINT is set by data bit 1. ZINT(*) serves a dual function.
ZINT* is the maskable interrupt request to the on-board Z80A.
Note, circuit implementation makes it possible for the on-board
