== Features ==
''This list of CPC Booster + features has been copied from its homepage''
* '''ONE SYNCHRONOUS/ASYNCHRONOUS SERIAL PORT:''' Improved serial port (RS232) with the ability to enable parity check, select the bits of the frame, the stop bits and many more things to control it. The speed is from 4800 baud till 1382400 1,382,400 bauds.
* '''SERIAL PORT BUFFER:''' A 255 bytes buffer added for the UART which can be enabled/disabled by the user. Improves performance of the serial communication.
* '''TWO ANALOG INPUTS:''' Two analog to digital convertors. They are used for stereo or mono 8bit sound sampling. You can select the sampling rate directly from the cpc booster.
* Arkos ROM Pack: [http://www.julien-nevo.com/arkos/tools.html]
* Some functions of the CPC-Booster(+) are supported by [[FutureOS]].
* Updates to the CPC-Booster software are available as 3 zip files (dated 2 Feb 05, 5 July 05, 28 July 05), though the latest source code appears to be from December 2010. Antitec's web site says to apply them in order. Each update also includes Antitec's terminal application.
* The updates are also saved here: [[File: update1.zip|update1.zip]] [[File: update2.zip|update2.zip]] [[File: update3.zip|update3.zip]]
* One disc containing all four updates for CPC-Booster+ [[File:CPCBPCUPD.DSK]]
== Manual ==
* The source code is also kept (and maintained?) with the Linux CPC SDK here: [https://code.google.com/p/cpcsdk/source/browse/trunk/resources/CPC_BOOSTER CPC Booster Plus at CPC SDK]
* A local copy of the source code/schematics is also preserved here: [[File:CPCBoosterPlus.zip|CPCBoosterPlus.zip]]
* There are also some files available here (don't appear particularly useful): [http://cpcrulez.fr/hardware-cpcboosterserie-interface_cpcbooster_plus.htm CPC Booster on cpcrulesCPCrulez.fr]
* This is the zip file from that page: [[File:CPCBooster.zip|CPCBooster.zip]]
Notes:
* Latest dated source code is December 2010
* The schematic is not complete, but the PCB layout is
== MiniBooster ==
The MiniBooster is similar to the CPC Booster, with these differences:
The MiniBooster lacks all the CPCBooster+ "older" connectors to reduce the board size and to be more versatile.
Instead, it mainly provides a blutooth socket and a 16-pin connector that allow to add some modules and expansions like:
* Serial's USB, RS232, RS485, Ethernet, WIFI... TTL Modules.
* SPI's SD Card, RTC, LCD... Custom expansions.
Also note:
* INP(&FF00) returns 170. (It is a booster board)
* INP(&FF01) returns 238 on a MiniBooster, but 85 on a CPCBooster.
That allows to know witch board is used and properly set the device speed and supported features.
The CPU of the Mini-Booster is more quick than the CPU in the CPC Booster.
