Description
The Amstrad Expansion System aka Maplin ROM Card from Maplin is a DIY project by Dave Goodman and John Attfield.
The Amstrad Expansion System (Part 1) was primarily a rom box for the CPC series, but had additional features:
- Special non-standard Buffered Expansion Port (with pre-decoded IOSEL line, on access to "free" I/O addresss)
- Lightpen socket (3.5mm stereo socket - just a connector with LPEN,5V,GND - without any additional electronics)
The DIY project consisted of a 16 page instruction leaflet.
