Hi everyone!

Does anyone around here has added the third slot to a philips NMS8250 through the internal connector MY?

I want to make this extension but the information I have is enough for my level of electronic, and Holland.

If anyone knows of that is, thanks more info.

Greetings!

Tal vez sea más fácil para publicar en Inglés

Here you can find an English version of SLOT3 : http://www.msxarchive.nl/pub/msx/docs/hwmodsetc/hanso/hwmodsetc/philipsnms82xxslot3.pdf
It's not the MY connector version, but an other one.

I'm also busy building a 3th slot in my NMS8250.
Just finished modding the 3th slot into the housing and i'm realy happy how it worked out.

I had to give up my 2nd drive, but on the other hand I hardly use diskdrives at all, so I wont miss it.

Probably you have noticed, that I'm finishing my unfinished projects Big smile
One of those projects is adding a 3th slot to a NMS8250

The mechanical part of the project I had finished almost 3 years ago, but the electronical part is still not finished. Somehow I cant get it to work, so I'm asking for help.

My goal is to get this to work using this instruction.

I prever this version above the MY connector version, because this version uses the buffers. But this makes it also a bit more complex.

I followed the entire instructions and getting a black screen. Then I found some comments

Quote:

Additional information by Luciano Sturaro (via Ricardo Jurczyk Pinheiro): add pull-up resistors (10K will do) to pin 6, 8 and 11 of the new 74LS15, because the 74LS15 has open collector outputs.

So I've added the pull-up resistors to the 74LS15 and the MSX boots up normaly, but none of the 3 slots work. When I replace te 74LS15 with the 74LS08, Slot 1 and Slot 2 works normaly.

I already found one thing in the instruction, that is wrong, so I'm wondering if someone else ever used this instruction and if this instruction has more errors.

The step (that I think) is wrong is :

Quote:

15. Connect pen 1 of IC143 with pen 4 of slot 3 connector (BUSDIR)

The /BUSDIR signal needs to be on pin 10 and not 4 (SLTSL3.1)

Also I think the 3th slot needs to have it's own /INT signal, but i'm not sure.

What am I missing and/or does anyone knows how to achieve to add a 3th slot using the buffers?

/INT is pulled up, any low state will trigger the interruption, don't matther from where is coming.

is a task of the software to recognize what kind of interruption was.

Ok, so I can use the /INT provided from the 1st or 2nd slot. But still somehow it doesn't work.
Also the use of the 74LS15 is not clear to me, in orther schematics for slotexpanders I see that a 74LS21 is used to combine the BUSDIR signal of all 3 slots.

I wonder if it´s possible to upgrade a Sony HBF700 with a third slot. While examining my T600 (the Sony, not the Terminator one), which have a internal third slot connected the modem, it should be practicable. But this is another story I guess...

Yes. This internal third slot is amazing. Probably you can try to swap the front of other Sony HBF700 with this (only if you are sure about what are you doing ;D ) I'm happy you enjoy the T600 !! Hannibal
