"BIG BOARD II" 4 MHz Z80·A SINGLE BOARD COMPUTER WITH "SASI" HARD·DISK INTERFACE $545 ASSEMBLED & TESTED $145 PC BOARD WITH 16 PARTS Jim Ferguson, the designer of the "Big Board" distributed by Digital SIZE: 8.75" X 15.5" Research Computers, has produced a stunning new computer that POWER: +5V @ 3A, +-12V @ O.1A Cal-Tex Computers has been shipping for a year. Called "Big Board II", it has the following features: • "SASI" Interface for Winchester Disks Our "Big Board II" implements the Host portion of the "Shugart Associates Systems .4 MHz Z80-A CPU and Peripheral Chips Interface." Adding a Winchester disk drive is no harder than attaching a floppy-disk The new Ferguson computer runs at 4 MHz. Its Monitor code is lean, uses Mode 2 drive. A user simply 1) runs a fifty-conductor ribbon cable from a header on the board to interrupts, and makes good use of the Z80-A DMA chip. a Xebec controller that costs only $295 and implements the controller portion of the SASI interface, 2) cables the controller to a Seagate Technology ST-506 hard disk or • 64K Dynamic RAM + 4K Static CRT RAM + one compatible with it, and 3) provides power for the controller-card and drive. Since our CBIOS contains code for communicating with hard-disks, that's all a user has to do 24K E(E)PROM or Static RAM to add a Winchester to a system! "Big Board II" has three memory banks. The first memory bank has eight 4164 DRAMs that provide 60K of user space and 4K of monitor space. The second memory bank has • Two SynchronouslAsynchronous Serial Ports two 2Kx8 SRAMs for the memory-mapped CRT display and space for six 2732As, 2Kx8 With a Z80-A SIOIO and a Z80-A CTC as a baud-rate generator, the new Ferguson static RAMs, or pin-compatible EEPROMS. The third memory bank is for RAM or ROM computer has two full RS232-C ports. It autobauds on both. added to the board via the STD bus. Whether bought as a bare board or assembled and tested, it comes with a 2732 EPROM containing Russell Smith's superb • A Parallel Keyboard Port + Four Other Parallel Monitor. Ports for User 1/0 • Multiple-Density Controller for The new Cal-Tex single-board computer has one parallel port for an ASCII keyboard SSIDS Floppy Disks and four others for user-defined liD.

There are three display modes: Character, block-graphics, and line-graphics. The board emulates an ADM-31 with 24 lines of 80 characters formed by a 7x9 dot matrix. • CPIM 2.2** CPIM with Russell Smith's CBIOS for the new Cal-Tex computer is available for $150. The CBIOS is available separately for $25. • STD Bus The new Ferguson computer has an STD Bus port for easy system expansion . • DMA The new Ferguson computer has a Z8Q-A DMA chip that will allow byte-wise data transfers at 500 KBytes per second and bit-serial transfers via the Z8Q-A SID at 880 Kbits per second with minimal processer overhead. When a hard-disc subsystem is added, the DMA chip makes impressive disk performance possible. ··CP/M is a registered trademark of Digital Research.
