Interrupts
The TPI Chip for the memory banks also functions as a priority interrupt controller, providing 5 seperate interrupt lines.
IRQ_0 is further divided into 8 lines for communication modules, giving an overall of 14 available IRQ-Lines.
These are currently used as follows:
- IRQ -> TPI
- IRQ_0 -> VIA0
- IRQ_0.0 -> ACIA0
- IRQ_0.1 -> ACIA1
- IRQ_0.2 -> ACIA2
- IRQ_0.3 -> ACIA3
- IRQ_0.4 -> RTC
- IRQ_0.5 -> ---
- IRQ_0.6 -> ---
- IRQ_0.7 -> ---
- IRQ_1 -> VIA1
- IRQ_2 -> VIA2
- IRQ_3 -> ---
- IRQ_4 -> ---
- IRQ_0 -> VIA0
- NMI -> ---
Note that the NMI is connected to a push button on the bus board.

Questions
How big is the Modules PCB?
It measures 83.3 × 68.2 mm and has 4 copper layers, 1.61 mm thick.
What parts does the Modules use?
21 parts, built around the 74HC00D, 74HC138, 74HCT74D and 74LS32SC. The full list of its parts is on this page, with links to each part's symbol and footprint where PCBKit's library has them.
Where can I download the Modules KiCad files?
From the Synthron/S65 repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is Hardware/modules/CF/CF.kicad_pcb and its schematic Hardware/modules/ACIA2/ACIA2.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the Modules design in my own project?
Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask Synthron before reusing the design.
