[[Image:Amx mouse 10.jpg|right|thumb|250px|The original mouse with red buttons and a logo]]

A mouse by the British company [[Advanced Memory Systems]].

The mouse was connected to the joystick port of the CPC.

An additional lead plugged between the 5V power connector coming from the monitor and the 5V-socket of the CPC.

There were three versions in all.

The tape software is : [[AMX Art]].

== Technical ==

The AMX Art software uses the CPC's 300Hz interrupt to read the joystick port (at least it tries to do that, while moving the mouse pointer, the software accidently disables IRQs, and so, misses some interrupts). This is giving it a relative low resolution of max 300 mickeys per second (or actually less, due to the missed IRQs).

The AMX Interface hardware basically converts the incoming mouse signals to joystick signals, issuing LOW pulses (per mickey) on the corresponding direction lines. The protocol is thus very simple (unlike modern RS232 and PS/2 mice, the hardware doesn't contain any motion counters).

Row9.Bit0 Joy1up LOW for 1/300s per mickey, when mouse moved up
Row9.Bit1 Joy1down LOW for 1/300s per mickey, when mouse moved down
Row9.Bit2 Joy1left LOW for 1/300s per mickey, when mouse moved left
Row9.Bit3 Joy1right LOW for 1/300s per mickey, when mouse moved right
Row9.Bit5 Joy1fire1 LOW when Right mouse button pressed
Row9.Bit4 Joy1fire2 LOW when Left mouse button pressed
Row9.Bit6 Joy1fire3 LOW when Middle mouse button pressed

Note: The exact hardware timings are '''unknown''', the values "1/300s" in the above description assume that the AMX '''hardware''' timings were designed to match up with the 300Hz AMX '''software''' timings.

Note II: Looking at the photos, it seems that /joystick1 (keyb row 9 select) is wired to the multivibrator, so the mickey timings may be software controlled; accordingly, software would be required to deselect keyb row 9 between each read.

Contains the following ICs:
* 1x CD4047BE - Low Power Monostable/Astable Multivibrator
* 2x MC14013B - Dual Type D Flip-Flops
* 1x SN74LS244N - Octal Buffers And Line Drivers With 3-State Outputs

The mouse used on the Amstrad appears to be the same as the mouse used on the BBC. But this is not confirmed.
The connection to the interface is essentially the same.

== AMX Mouse Hardware Clones ==

* [[AMX Kit]] (discontinued french project)
* [[PS2Mouse]] (DIY by Bryce)

Moreover, the [[Dk'tronics Mouse Interface]] seems to be AMX compatible, too. (Not confirmed if it is really compatible, but the circuit looks very similar.) (though dk'tronics seems to support only one button, not three buttons.) (Tested 24.9.14 by user Spookspring does not appear to work at all)

Spookspring:

=Nightingale Modem by PACE=

A 300/1200 baud modem sold with, or designed to be used with the RS232 unit (below), both made by PACE using Commstar software.
Below pictures and video show the unit connected online to Arcade Demon in 2013, the last BBS operating in the U.K. (as far as aware) compatible with an Amstrad CPC. The site was aimed at Acorn 32 bit users, and stopped updating around 1995.

Spookspring:

== History ==

'''Pace Micro Technology plc''' was founded in 1982 and introduced the first low-cost commercially available modems in 1985. In 1987 it started selling its first analogue satellite set-top receivers. In May 2008, Pace changed its name from 'Pace Micro Technology plc' to '''Pace plc''' (excerpt from [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pace_Micro_Technology Wikipedia]).

== Pace Hardware for CPC ==

In the CPC world, Pace is mainly known for the improved "PACE" version of the Amstrad Serial Interface, and for modem.

* [[Amstrad Serial Interface]]
* [[Commstar v21/23 modem]] (Pace)
* [[Nightingale modem]] (Pace)

According to [[:File:ACU8701039.jpg|this advert]] Pace also made 5.25" disc drives (for PCW).

A 300 baud modem sold with, or designed to be used with the RS232 unit (below), both made by PACE using Commstar software.
Below pictures and video show the unit connected online to Demon Arcade in 2013, the last BBS operating in the U.K. (as far as aware) compatible with an Amstrad CPC. The site was aimed at Acorn users, and stopped updating around 1995.

Maplin ROM Box

[[Image:Amstrad Expansion System.jpg|thumb|150px|Amstrad Expansion System]]

== Description ==

The '''Amstrad Expansion System''' aka '''Maplin ROM Card''' from [[Maplin]] is a DIY project by [[Dave Goodman]] and [[John Attfield]].

The '''Amstrad Expansion System (Part 1)''' is primarily a '''rom box''' for the CPC series, but had additional features:

* Special non-standard Buffered Expansion Port (with pre-decoded IOSEL line, on access to "free" I/O addresss)
* Lightpen socket (3.5mm stereo socket - just a connector with LPEN,5V,GND - without any additional electronics)

The '''Amstrad Expansion System (Part 2)''' adds some more features:

* 6x8bit I/O port (using two [[8255 PPI chip]]s)
* Additional power-supply module (PSU)

== Technical ==

ROM is selected using an I/O port decoded with A15=1, A13=0. The ROM number is decoded using D3-D0 only, meaning a maximum of 16 ROMs can be used, but the PCB only has 8 sockets available.
In addition more then one value can select the same ROM.
