MVS cartridge pinout

* Pin pitch: .1 in (2.54mm)
* Board thickness: 1.6mm
* Number of pins: 60 on each side, 120 per board, 240 per cartridge, with some pins missing or unused

<span style="color:#FF0000"><B>Beware !</B> Pinouts found elsewhere have /ROMOE and 4MB swapped, it's an error on the original schematics. /ROMOE is on pin 33 bottom, 4MB is on pin 34 bottom.</span>

See [[Signal names]] for the description of each pin.

SLOTCS goes low when the slot is used. On multi-slot boards, the signals come from [[NEO-F0]] SLOT0~5. On one slot boards, it's tied to SYSTEMB.
The [[BIOS]] was written to ensure the signal is asserted when it does the slot check.

[[NG:Dev.Team]] carts run this signal to the LPC2468FBD208. Seems never used on official PCBs. --[[User:Hpman|Hpman]] 05:22, 26 June 2012 (CEST)
