BOM is probably not acurrate, gerbers have names wrong.

GAL code is not checked

Even this interface provide a back conector for other interfaces, it do not provide a good IORQ signals, so can be incompatible with other interfaces that original interface is working good.

This board hide the serial port on +2.

The Advantege of this interfaz over the original are:

  • 4 Banks of ROM, so you can swap between diferent versiones of TR-Dos. selectable by dip-switches (TR-DOS 5.03 and 5.04T with fixed, TR-DOS 6.04 & velesoft 5.03 with monitor.

  • Posibility of use crossed and plain floppy cable, and invert Drive 1 and Drive 2, very usefull if you have a Gotek and a real floppy.

  • Jumper for swap D0 & D7 (because some roms are distributed with this bits swapeed)
