The CPC6128 second bank of 64K RAM is controlled by a PAL 16L8 chip. It has the Amstrad part number 40031.

On the CPC 6128 schematic, it is top centre: CPC6128 Schematic however the X inputs aren't distinguished.

Fixed version (Gerald)

Original version from Porchy suffer from a bad handling of the RAMDIS signal. This cause screen artefact when accessing an external extension RAM like XMEM.

A14OUT     = !(  !A14
             #   !A15 & !Q0 & Q2 );

A15OUT     = !(  !A15 & !A14

Initial replacement equation (Porchy)

The following equations were worked out by Porchy (member on CPCWiki Forum). These can be used to program replacements:

A15OUT = (!X2 & !X1 & A14
     # !X3 & !X2 & A14
     # A15); 

!X1 = (!A15 & D7ANDD6 & RESET & !IOWR & D0
     # !X1 & RESET & IOWR
     # !X1 & !D7ANDD6 & RESET
     # !X1 & A15 & RESET);

!X2 = (!A15 & D7ANDD6 & RESET & !IOWR & D1
     # !X2 & RESET & IOWR
     # !X2 & !D7ANDD6 & RESET
     # !X2 & A15 & RESET);

!X3 = (!A15 & D7ANDD6 & RESET & !IOWR & D2
     # !X3 & RESET & IOWR
     # !X3 & !D7ANDD6 & RESET
     # !X3 & A15 & RESET);

!CAS1 = (X3 & !X1 & A15 & A14 & !NCAS & !RAMDIS & !CPU & CAS0
     # !X3 & !A15 & A14 & !NCAS & !RAMDIS & !CPU & CAS0
     # X3 & !X2 & X1 & !NCAS & !RAMDIS & !CPU & CAS0
     # !NCAS & CAS0 & !CAS1);

!CAS0 = (X3 & X2 & X1 & !NCAS & !RAMDIS & CAS1
     # X3 & !X1 & !A15 & !NCAS & !RAMDIS & CAS1
     # !X3 & A15 & !NCAS & !RAMDIS & CAS1
     # !X1 & !A14 & !NCAS & !RAMDIS & CAS1
     # !X3 & !A14 & !NCAS & !RAMDIS & CAS1
     # !NCAS & !RAMDIS & CPU & CAS1
     # !NCAS & !CAS0 & CAS1);

A14OUT = (A15 & A14
     # !X1 & A14
     # X3 & A14);

PAL MMR register

This register controls how the extended RAM is banked into the CPU address space. It doesn't affect the video display at all as the Gate Array can only access the Base 64k page of RAM.

MMR 64K page S MM CPU Memory Mapping
7 6 5 4 3 2 1 0 &0000-&3fff &4000-&7fff &8000-&bfff &c000-&ffff
1 1 x 0 0 0 Base 64k / Bank 0 Base 64k / Bank 1 Base 64k / Bank 2 Base 64k / Bank 3
1 1 p 0 0 1 Base 64k / Bank 0 Base 64k / Bank 1 Base 64k / Bank 2 Page p / Bank 3
1 1 p 0 1 0 Page p / Bank 0 Page p / Bank 1 Page p / Bank 2 Page p / Bank 3
1 1 p 0 1 1 Base 64k / Bank 0 Base 64k / Bank 3 Base 64k / Bank 2 Page p / Bank 3
1 1 p 1 b Base 64k / Bank 0 Page p / Bank b Base 64k / Bank 2 Base 64k / Bank 3

On a standard 128k machine (unexpanded), bits5..3 are ignored. Page will always be fixed to Page 0.

PAL I/O port

Note that no settings are stored in the Gate Array regarding register 3, but the PAL and Gate Array share an I/O port address.

Bit14 of the PAL selection address can be at 0 or 1 on CPCs equipped with CRTCs 3, 4. It must be at 1 on CRTCs 0, 1 and 2 (The result is not guaranteed).

For compatibility reasons, it is strongly advised to always set bit14 to 1 to select PAL.
