 The MiniBooster is similar to the CPC Booster, with these differences:
 The MiniBooster lacks all the CPCBooster+ "older" connectors to reduce the board size and to be more versatile.

 * '''SERIAL PORT BUFFER:''' A 255 bytes buffer added for the UART which can be enabled/disabled by the user. Improves performance of the serial communication.
 * '''TWO ANALOG INPUTS:''' Two analog to digital convertors. They are used for stereo or mono 8bit sound sampling. You can select the sampling rate directly from the cpc booster.
