Computer Interconnection
( )
In order for the MF-68 to work properly with an SWTPC 6800 computer one minor
modification needs to be made to the mother board. Power down the computer
and carefully remove the mother board. With a short length of wire connect
the two end pins of I/0 socket #5. This will connect the #5 chip select line
to UD3. When connecting the wire route it around the PC support on the bottom
of the board to prevent it from being cut. Re-install the mother board when
finished.
( )
The disk controller board should now be plugged onto I/0 slot 6 on the
computer's mother board.
( )
Connect the ribbon cable to the connector on the controller board. If the
connector supplied on the cable does not have an indexing pin install the
connector so that the cable runs toward the back of the board.
