 The [[ECB Bus]] connector of the board is intended to be plugged into the [[Schneiderware Basisplatine]], but it could be also wired directly to the CPCs Expansion Port. The V/24 board additionally requires a [[Schneiderware Power Supply]] (or another external power supply with +12V/-12V).

Alternately, addresses F9E2h-F8E3h and F9E8h-F9EBh (ie. the '''middle''' addresses in the F9E0h-F9EFh region) are jumper select-able (intended to allow to connect two RS232 cards to the computer).
