TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION

Introduction The ORIC-1 (16K and 48K) and ATMOS microcomputers are all designed round the 6502 microprocessor.

The

ORIC-1

48K

and

the

ATMOS

are

very

similar

as

regards the hardware, most of the differences lie in the software. The ORIC-1 16K uses a different PCB and it's RAM is made up of 2 x TMS4416 as compared with the 48K machine which uses 8 x MMS4164. Furthermore, the 16K ORIC-1 is not suitable for use with disc

drives.

Address Map The address map for the ORIC-1 48K and ATMOS is

divided into three areas:-

When the 6502 addresses locations C000 to FFFF (the top 16K) it is accessing ROM (the BASIC interpreter and operating system). Locations 0000 to BFFF (the bottom 48K) access the dynamic RAM with the exception of 0300 to 03FF whose 255 locations are reserved for INPUT/OUTPUT (I/O - page 3 of RAM).

10

There is in fact a total of 64K of DRAM, 48K for user programs and 16K which remains unused (except for I/O

expansion). The ROM is accessed directly from the 6502. In the ORIC-1 16K machine, the same processor is used (which can address up to 64K locations). The top 16K, as before is used to access ROM, and the remaining (bottom) 48K for DRAM. However, since there is only 16K of DRAM available, the top two address bits (A14 and A15) are ignored, and the bottom fourteen bits only are used to address a maximum of 16K.

I/O and Expansion The ORIC-1 48K and ATMOS both have a built in capability to expand the I/O to include extra hardware which can be either purpose peripherals an or memory port' (ROM in the or RAM). of For PL2 this gives

'expansion

form

access to the address and data bus lines. In addition, there are a number of signals, some generated by the

microcomputer and some which are necessary

generated by the expansion device for expanded I/O operation, these

signals are as follows:-

11

I/O (Output)

This is generated by the ULA whenever the 6502 addresses locations in the range 300 to 3FF as (I/O). It is used internally by IC6 as being available at PL2

well

(expansion socket).

I/O Control

This should be generated by the expansion device (Input) connected to PL2. It's

purpose is to inhibit IC6 and thus prevent the keyboard with and the printer data bus ports being the

interfaced

whilst

expansion device is being addressed.

MAP (Input)

This should be generated by the expansion device. It's purpose is to modify

DRAM'S

operation of the internal ROM and

to

ensure unimpeded operation of the expansion device.

ROMDIS (Input) A signal generated by the expansion device to disenable the internal ROM and thus

prevent it using the data bus.

12

RESET(Input)

An externally generated 'power up' type reset signal.

02 (Output)

Timing signal.

R/W (Output)

Read or Write.

The output signals are utilized from existing internally generated signals used for non-expanded I/O operation. The I/O works in the following way:-

Whenever the 6502 generates an address in the range 0300 to 03FF, the ULA detects it and generates a signal which (as CS ) is used to enable the interface adapter IC6 and ( as I/O ) is fed to the expansion part PL2.

Provided the address is in the range 0300 to 030F, IC6 is enabled and the keyboard or printer interface ports are used. If however, the address falls in the range 030F to 03FF, the external device connected to PL2 should generate I/O CONTROL to inhibit the interface adapter IC6, thus leaving the data bus free for the expansion port.

13

All ORIC designed peripherals for use on the expansion port, have addresses from should 0300 have upwards. addresses All at non-ORIC or below

designed

peripherals

03FF, this way there is the least likelihood of a conflict of addresses.

The signal MAP deserves some explanation since it is this which modifies the address map for I/O expansion, and it works in the following way:-

The ULA which monitors the top 8 bits of the address bus, detects when the top 16K is being addressed, and when the bottom 48K is being addressed. If the top 16K is being addressed (C000-FFFF) when MAP is generated, the ULA (IC7) generates a signal CS which inhibits the ROM(s) from using the data bus. In addition, the entire 64K of RAM is enabled (made available to the data bus). This feature is used by the Microdisc drive system whose software (DOS) occupies the top 16K of DRAM, thus ensuring that the ROM and the DOS cannot use the data bus at the same time and maintaining the 48K of DRAM for user programs. If the bottom 48K is being addressed (0000 to BFFF) when MAP is detected, the entire 64K of DRAM is inhibited and the data bus is free to be used by

14

external memory (RAM or ROM) connected to PL2. MAP timing is important, MAP is a 250ns pulse, negative going with its leading edge occuring 80 to 100ns before the rising edge of phase 2 (output from pin 39 of IC5).

Circuit descriptions

Power supply regulation (IC1)

An unregulated +9 volt supply is fed into the computer from the plug-in external power unit. Regulation to +5 volts is provided by IC1 and associated components. IC1 is a

negative regulator, however this does not matter as the dc supply in the computer is 'floating'. IC1 which is a 7905 requires 1 volt headroom.

Basic system clock generator XT1 provides a 12 MHz clock for the ULA (IC7), from which all synchronisation and phasing signals are derived.

15

System 'reset' (at power up) System reset is generated by C21 and RPl providing a very simple means of generating a power up strobe. Timing here is important as the power and 12 MHz clock must be fully operational before RST becomes active. For this reason, it is best to reset the computer using the power connection on the rear of the ORIC as this provides a rapid build up of the 5 volt supply. Using the mains switch on the wall socket provides only a slow build up of the 5 volt supply due to the large reservoir capacitor in the power pack charging up.

Sound (IC2/IC4) Sound is provided by IC4 and a small power amplifier IC2. IC4 cannot easily be directly connected to a 6502 bus and is, therefore, connected to port A of the 6522 (IC6). Data transfers are controlled by BC1 and BDIR of IC4. The

current output of IC4 is converted to a voltage by R4 and attenuated by R2 and R3 as the LM385 has a fixed voltage gain of 20. Later models have a 22K resistor connected between pin 3 of IC2 and GND to prevent any build up of charge on C4 due to sometimes large input currents. This resistor can be connected into the cassette lead of earlier machines if necessary.

16

Keyboard circuitry (keyboard PCB) The key switches are arranged electrically in columns and rows as shown on the keyboard circuit diagram. The eight rows are interrogated by IC1 whose input is a 3 bit binary count and the decoded output is fed to IC6 in the computer via transistor TR2. Column decoding is via eight lines from the keyboard to the sound circuit IC4 which also acts as a keyboard I/O port.

Gate array (IC7) The gate array performs a number of functions which are: -

a) Generating synchronisation and phase pulses from the basic 12 MHz clock input.
b) Generating timing signals for the 64K DRAMS. c) Address mapping and modification for I/O expansion. d) Generating video refresh addresses, decoding character

and

colour

attributes,

reading

data

from

RAM

and

generating the serial bit streams for the R, G and B outputs.

17

Cassette interface (IC3) Two cassette loading and saving speeds are available: fast which is 2400 baud and slow which is 300 baud.

Fast mode is really for the user who is saving and loading own programs using just the one cassette recorder. Provided a good quality tape is used and the tape recorder is in good condition, fast mode is very reliable and has the obvious advantage of speed.

Slow mode is more suitable when transferring prog rams from one cassette to another or using bought in software. In slow mode, each data bit occupies a number of carrier

cycles, and an average is taken when loading, to detect a logic '1' or ' 0 '. be tolerated In this way one or two 'drop-outs' can affecting the average value. By

cassette interface is very simple indeed. For TAPE OUT the counter timers in the 6522 are used to generate the pulse stream, which is attenuated by R12 and R13 to approximately 150 mv peak to peak and shaped by C7. TAPE IN also uses the counter

18

timers in the 6522, but this time to measure pulse widths. IC3 is a dual op-amp and converts the audio signal into a TTL signal. The first stage is a unity gain inverting buffer amplifier (in at pin 2 and out at pin 1). The second stage is a positive of feedback TR1 amplifier provides

buffering for the 6522 (IC4) and TR3 drives the remote control relay.

19

PAL Encoder (IC23 and 27) and UHF Modulator IC26 provides the colour burst gate pulse which occurs soon after the synch pulse input. This pulse is fed to IC23. IC27 is also triggered by synch pulses, its output

is divided by 2 and provides a PAL switching input to IC23.

XT2, IC24 and IC25 provide two 4.43 MHz sample clocks in phase quadrature and the ULA provides the RGB signals plus the synch pulse.

Sampling of the RGB signals takes place at a rate of 8.86 MHz in the ROM (IC23) whose binary output drives a 'ladder' type D to A converter, providing a composite analogue video signal. This is fed via the UHF modulator to the television output socket.

Printer interface Port A of IC6 (6522) is multiplexed between the sound

circuit (IC4) and the printer port. acknowledge signals are provided

Introduction

Since

one

or

two

modifications to the circuit have been implemented at various times. The circuit diagram and parts list

reflects Issue 4 of the circuit, however it is possible that if you receive an early model to repair, there may be some slight circuit differences between it and the circuit diagram/and/or parts list.

Do not confuse PCB issue number with circuit issue number as per your circuit diagram. The circuit issue number changes The each PCB time issue the number circuit changes changes whenever

22

To date, four modifications have been introduced which affects components on the circuit diagram (Nos 52, 53 and 56 and 63). The leaflets for these modifications are in Appendix 2.

You

notice

that

the

components

We recommend that for all ORIC-1 computers returned for repair, you check leaf the lets modification in Appendix state 2, and using modify the as

modification

required to bring the computer up to the PCB Issue 4 and the latest circuit diagram issue.

The method of cutting through the pin of an integrated circuit is the best way of removing the load or source from a line to eliminate the IC. It is quite acceptable to re-solder the cut pin provide you use a heat sink to

protect the circuit, and easier than replacing the entire circuit.

We suggest that if you are going to use an oscilloscope extensively, you solder a wire to the 0V line on the main PCB for connection to the earth clip on your oscilloscope probe.

The only other possibility is to use the 0V side of the

references by which they are identified on the printed circuit boards. visible on the In general these references are clearly PCBs although the odd one or two are

obscured by 'disc' capacitors. The waveforms for ICs 4 , 5, 6 and 7 at the end of this section are common and therefore not associated with any other fault. These and all other waveforms were monitored on a known serviceable ORIC ATMOS with no external

peripherals connected.

24

Disassembly The procedure is the same for both the ORIC-1 and ATMOS computers:-

Remove the bottom part of the outer case which is secured to the top part by six screws. Once this is done you will see the main printed circuit board which is secured to the keyboard printed circuit board by a screw in two of the four corners. The electrical connections between the main PCB and keyboard PCB are via a 15 way connector. On the ORIC-1 this is a rigid plug/socket connection, but on the ATMOS, a ribbon cable termination in a socket is used and connects with pins on the main PCB of which pin nearest to the loudspeaker. 1 is

All the 15 pins protrude through to the upper side of the PCB for monitoring purposes. You will notice that the

ribbon cable used on the ATMOS has a different coloured wire at one end, this is to identify pin 1 of the socket so you don't connect it the wrong way round.

To remove the main PCB, unscrew the two screws and unplug the keyboard connection.

25

Screen faults By 'screen faults' we mean those associated with the video encoder circuits (IC23 to IC27 , XT2 and the modulator) and the RGB monitor output circuit (IC22).

A common fault is the absence of any data at all on the screen, there are other screen faults resulting in

incorrect characters, patterns or rubbish, however these are usually due to other faults and are covered later in the chapter.

The first thing to do is find out if the fault occurs on a video monitor, an ordinary television, or both.

If

the

fault

is

on

the

video

(RGB)

monitor

and

the

television, check with an oscilloscope the RGB signals on pins 19, 20 and 21 of IC7 which should each show square pulses from -1 volt to +1 volt.

If these signals are not present, try replacing first IC7 and then IC23, both of which are 'plug-in', if the fault remains, replace IC22. The only other possibility is

processor IC5 (it's usually IC7).

26

If the fault is only on the RGB video monitor, the most likely causes are IC22 and video output socket SK1 and resistor pack RP2.

If the fault is only on a television set, the RGB signals to IC23 (and IC22) must be correct, so check the video encoder and output chain as follows:-

Check the modulator signal input with an oscilloscope on the middle of the three connections at an end of the

modulator casing. The signals won't make much sense but you should see a peak to peak amplitude of about 0.2 volts about a dc level of 0V. If these signals are present change the modulator after first checking its +5 volt power IC23

supply, otherwise check the outputs and inputs of follows:-

27

Pin 7 (sync)

This signal could be pulled low if IC23, IC26 or IC27 are faulty

Pin 1 as for pin 7 but phase shifted.

If not present replace IC23 then IC26

Pin 15

If not present replace IC23 then IC27

Pins 5 and 6 Oscillator output of 2 volts peak to peak about 0v dc,

28

Another fault you may see is horizontal block bars moving up and down the screen. This is usually due to faulty

DRAMS but it can also be due to the +5 volt line having excessive ripple (a typically faulty line shows 30 mv peak to peak). To locate the faulty DRAM, monitor the +5 volt line and cut the VCC pin of each DRAM in turn starting with IC13. You will also find that often, more than one DRAM is faulty, and that the faulty ones get quite hot, this can be checked before you start cutting pins.

If the quality of the picture deteriorates, this can be due either to poor colour or sound-on-vision.

For poor colour, first try the re-tuning procedure which is detailed on page 4 of the ORIC ATMOS MANUAL. If this does not solve the problem, CV1 the or the fault probably lies with of

variable

capacitor

associated

components

IC25. Check also that the three RGB signals to IC23 pins 2,3 and 4 are approximately the same amplitude (for sound on vision, faults), RV1 or the RC network between the

output from IC4 and the Input to IC2 are likely causes.

29

Picture quality adjustment

There are two adjustments which affect the signal out of the UHF modulator. RV1 controls the bias on the composite video signal feed set into in one the UHF modulator. sync If RV1 is are

compressed, causing the picture to jump out of line hold and frame hold, if incorrectly set in the other direction, compression of the video takes place causing yellows to turn white. The best way to adjust is to use the yellow

PAPER and adjust RV1 until it just starts to turn white.

The

other

adjustment

is

the

frequency

of

the

colour

subcarrier control led by CVl. First and foremost, it must be within a small tolerance of the correct frequency of 443361875 MHz. Also important is its relationship with the video line frequency, which itself is derived from 12 MHz clock. If the relationship is incorrect or too far out then colour fringing occurs on vertical boundaries and on text. This adjustment should be made when the ORIC has reached its normal working temperature, the correct position being the one that gives the best colour picture.

30

Sound faults A common fault is the absence of any sound and before doing anything else, check the loudspeaker and the

connections to it from the sound power amplifier IC2.

Next, type sounds:-

Using the oscilloscope, check IC4 pins 1/4/5, you should see positive going square pulses from 0v to about 800 mv amiplitude. If there signals are absent, the fault is

likely to be the sound circuit IC4 or IC6 .

Next, check IC2 pin

3,(the

pulses

be

above 0V) and pin 5 where the signals should be 1.5 volts peak to peak about a dc level of +2.5 volts.

Finally, check the speaker terminal which is the same as IC2 pin 5 with a dc level of 0 volts.

31

Keyboard faults If a number of keys fail to function correctly, first refer to the keyboard PCB circuit diagram and check if the problem keys make up a complete row or a complete column (the circuit diagram show clearly how the keys are

arranged electrically into columns and rows.

faulty

row

characters or its

intermittent

characters)

connections being faulty. It's possible that IC6 on the main PCB is faulty, but unlikely.

A faulty column of keys is likely to be due to a bad connection on PL3 which connects with the sound circuit, or the sound circuit itself (IC4).

One or more faulty keys not all in one particular column or row is due either to faulty key switching mechanism (s) or soldered connections of keys to keyboard.

If a key or keys start to give the wrong characters on the screen, this can be due to short circuits (column and row) on the keyboard PCB or ICs 4 or 6 on the main PCB.

32

The following are keyboard interface waveforms monitored at PL3:-

Pins 2, 3, 4, 5, 9, 11, 12

Pin 1

Pressing any key causes the relevant (column) pin to go to 0 volts except for pin 1 which goes to +4.5 volts.

33

Pins 6, 7 and 8 (3 bit binary count)

Pressing a key causes the lines to go to +5 volts dc.

Pin 13 is 2 volts dc, when a key is pressed it goes to 5 volts.

34

Powering up (initialization) faults If after powering up, the screen is covered with black horizontal bars or random patterns, this indicates that the contents of the ROM (language interpreter and operating system) have not been correctly loaded into DRAM. One thing to check is that modification 63b on IC21 has been

implemented.

If not, this can result in initialization

faults, because of the relative timing between RESET (on power up) becoming active, and the start of clock pulse generation. circuit is It is important before that the is clock generator Next, the

working

RESET

active.

following procedure checks initialization, after power has been applied.

1.

Checking the data bus

Monitor the data bus lines at the input (pin 14/2) of each DRAM (IC12 to IC19). Each pin should show pulse signals of about 4,0 volts amplitude. In the case of IC18 you will see additional signals of slightly greater amplitude, this is an inherent design feature not a fault.

35

If any line is significantly higher or

lower

than

the

others, check PL5 for shorts on the pins, then cut the connection of the DRAM pin input and re-power up. If the line returns to +4.0 volt signals, change the DRAM, if not, apply the same technique to eliminate IC5, IC6, IC7, IC9/10. If all the data lines are correct, check the

address lines as follows.

2.

Checking the address bus

Use the same technique as for the data lines, and check lines A0 to A16 (pins 9 to 25 excluding 21) of the

processor, IC5.

You should see pulses about +4V amplitude

and if any line is faulty, cut the line at it's connection to the output pin of the processor. If pulses appear

change IC5, if not, apply the same technique to IC7, IC8, IC20, IC 9 and/or IC I0/11.

If a line is significantly high and the computer is left switched on, it will be necessary to change one or more of IC5, IC7, IC9, or IC10 as damage will almost certainly have occurred.

36

In the event that no signals are present on any data or address bus lines:-

First check the +5 volt line and if low voltage, use a tone meter to locate the short or partial short. Next, check the 12 MHZ clock from XT1 to IC7 , if the signal is not

present, cut the connection at IC7 and check again - if the clock returns change IC7 otherwise the fault is probabiy IC 21 or XT1.

Finally, there maybe instances where all the address and data bus lines appear satisfactory and yet there is a

fault:-

The

next

course

of

action

is

to

introduce

fault

by

shorting two address lines together so that initialization cannot take place, then check the data bus again and it is possible a fault may show up.

37

Tape cassette loading faults

The procedure for checking cassette loading is as follows:-

1.

Insert a long cassette (one which takes a few minutes to load) and load it. Monitor the signal You at IC3 be pin 2 (input to from the

2.

cassette).

won't

able

distinguish

individual signals but the arnplitude should be at least 100 m volts peak to peak.

The output of IC3 (pin 7) should look something like

this : -

3.

Check the input to IC6 (pin 18), the pulses should be

similar to those at IC3 pin 7 but from 0 volts to +5 volts. If these signals are present, the likely problem is IC6.

38

In the vast majority of cases there is nothing wrong with the ORIC, it is nearly always a case of finding the correct playback level and using good quality tape. Cassette

recorder heads must be clean and, in general, the recorder must be in good condition. Try not to use batteries as these generally produce a slightly different tape speed and, as a result, to the watch frequency for is a of the tones pinch change. wheel.

Another

course

damaged

Sometimes, if the recorder is unpowered and the PLAY button is left depressed for an extended period of time, a lump can be impressed on the pinch wheel by the capstan and this will produce a slight perturbation in tape speed every revolution of the pinch wheel.

UNIT/CIRCUIT/COMPONENT(S) AFFECTED ORIC-1 16K and 48K microcomputers

Issued in February 1982

TECHNICAL BACKGROUND INFORMATION In some cases, the sound circuit (IC4) overheats causing a deterioration in sound quality, followed by occassional faulty key operation and finally complete non-operation of the keyboard. The cause had been found to be pulse BDIR which is the input to pin 18 of IC4. The following actions reduces the pulse width to approximately 20 microseconds, and this has proved satisfactory for all makes of sound cicuit used on the Oric-1. In the ATMOS, the problem was eliminated by changing the V1.1 ROM software to give a reduced width BDIR pulse.

ACTION TO BE TAKEN 1. Order the components in the usual way under the following part Numbers:Resistor 22K Ohms RE0223 Capacitor 1.0 nf CA2004 2. Cut the track between pin 18 of IC4 and pin 19 of IC6, then Fit capacitor as shown on sheet 2. Fit the resistor between pin 6 and 18 of IC4 as shown on sheet 2. Do not ammend the parts list as this is not a production item Change affecting all models. We recommend however, you ammend The circuit diagram by drawing in the components and Identifying them SB1 (service Bulletin number 1).

DRAWINGS The following are supplied:ORIC-1 48K main printed circuit board circuit diagram. This can also be used for the ORIC-1 and the ATMOS. The only difference is in the ORIC-1 16K which uses only two DRAMs as compared with eight for the 48K models

ORIC ATMOS keybaord circuit diagram.

This can also be used for the ORIC-1, the only difference is that the ATMOS has an extra key labelled FUNCT.
