3 8-BIT ISA BUS INTERFACE
For the purpose of the example shown below, the following conditions apply:
1.
Indexed I/O with partial decoding, i.e. address lines A10 to A15 are not decoded for I/O cycles
Note
Partial decoding is quite safe on most ISA Bus systems as I/O addresses above 03FFh are rarely used.
2.
I/O addresses are 0300h and 0301h (xxxxxx1100000000b and xxxxxx1100000001b)
3.
64Kbytes of display memory occupying $A segment
Note
The 74LS00 is simply used to detect the $B segment and invalidate the MEMCS# input.
Note
This memory configuration may conflict with a VGA card installed on the same bus, therefore either a
serial terminal or monochrome display adapter is recommended as the primary console.
This section provides the necessary settings to complete the interface between the S1D13503 and the 8-bit ISA Bus. Since
I/O addresses are partially decoded, there is no need to use a PAL for decoding.
