AMSDAP

AMSDAP - CPC and MSX expansion slots for Amstrad CPC

The AMSDAP is developed in collaboration by Prodatron and TMTLOGIC.

With this board, it is possible to use MSX hardware on the CPC computer. This only applies to hardware that uses the IO bus of the Z80. Hardware that uses memory functions is not supported.

On the board is a DC / DC converter that provides the +/- 12v of the MSX. The maximum current is 84mA.

Technical information

The address range of the MSX can be found at &FFxx

MSX hardware supported

SymbOS makes use of:

• the graphics cards based on the Yamaha V9990 graphics chip
• the soundcards based on the Yamaha OPL4 sound chip. You can think of the OPL4 chip as an OPL3 and a Gravis Ultrasound ducktaped together
• the MP3 hardware player soundcards
