ZXNet echo conference «hardware.zx»

From Grigory Alekseevich Sinitsky To All 28 February 2007

Hello, WingLion So, I temporarily blocked out SCART after making sure that the Pentagon was showing the initial menu normal and troubles in the monitor. Slowly I continue to unsolder all sorts of external things. I won’t solder the keyboard-joystick, thanks to the ZX MC, but here’s the rest I'll slowly solder it slowly. For this reason, today I bought 2 34-pin floppy drive cables and put them into the case was cut off according to the “twist”. They are longer than those included and therefore more convenient. I soldered a RESET button, soldered RGB + SYNC for the monitor, to one of the “pairs” + 5V-GND hung a red LED to indicate power. Questions regarding further wiring of everything: Connector X3; A); What type of speaker is the "Speaker" and its second pin is soldered to GND or where? b) next to the wires “R-G-B”, “SYNC”, “VIDEO” there are two wires “LEFT” and "RIGHT". What is inferred from them? And what is output by "S_LEFT" and "S_RIGHT"? Next, after a pair of “Speaker” pins, come the LPT port wires. Everything is clear here. Connector X4; A); where and how are “Magic0” and “Magic1” soldered? Besides “Magic” and “Reset”, are there only keyboard-joystick(s)?
