Z80 memory controller. Has a hardwired 32KiB bank and switchable 16/8/4/2KiB banks arranged as a register file. To save pins the high address lines (A15-A8) are used for data input. The chip's write strobe is (port) address decoded inside the console.

SDRD0 is the memory operation selector WRITE (set bank and range size) / READ (access M1 based in previous configuration)
 
 
'''Details:'''
 
We must put SDRD0 is in high logic level before configure any bank;
 
 
To configure a bank to be accessed (e.g. bank0):
 
Set SDRD0 from H to L (prepare for new bank configuration, let output in tri-state and accept inputs)
 
Set SDA[15..0] = '''$8003''' (select bank 0 and 16k range size)
 
Set SDRD0 from L to H (fix bank, and ready to convert inputs in proper outputs signals)
 
With SDRD0 in H, send inputs SDA[15..0] from '''$8000~BFFF''', ZMC will convert this range in M1 range from '''$00000~$03FFF''';
 
 
 
Set SDRD0 from H to L (prepare for new bank configuration, let output in tri-state and accept inputs)
 
Set SDA[15..0] = '''$8103''' (select bank 1 and 16k range size)
 
Set SDRD0 from L to H (fix bank, and ready to convert inputs in proper outputs signals)
 
With SDRD0 in H, send inputs SDA[15..0] from '''$8000~BFFF''', ZMC will convert this range in M1 range from '''$04000~$07FFF''';
 
 
 
Set SDRD0 from H to L (prepare for new bank configuration, let output in tri-state and accept inputs)
 
Set SDA[15..0] = '''$8203''' (select bank 2 and 16k range size)
 
Set SDRD0 from L to H (fix bank, and ready to convert inputs in proper outputs signals)
 
With SDRD0 in H, send inputs SDA[15..0] from '''$8000~BFFF''', ZMC will convert this range in M1 range from '''$08000~$0BFFF''';
 
 
 
Set SDRD0 from H to L (prepare for new bank configuration, let output in tri-state and accept inputs)
 
Set SDA[15..0] = '''$8303''' (select bank 3 and 16k range size)
 
Set SDRD0 from L to H (fix bank, and ready to convert inputs in proper outputs signals)
 
With SDRD0 in H, send inputs SDA[15..0] from '''$8000~BFFF''', ZMC will convert this range in M1 range from '''$0C000~$0FFFF''';


... and so on...
SDA8~SDA15 are used for the bank number (data), SDA0 and SDA1 for selecting the window.

SDRD0 must be high before configuring banks.
 
To configure a bank to be accessed (e.g. bank 1 in the $8000~$BFFF range):
* Set SDRD0 low (prepare for new bank configuration, outputs are tri-stated)
* Set SDA0~15 = '''$8103''', select 16KiB bank 1 in window 3 (Why $8103 and not just $0103 ?)
* Set SDRD0 high (latch bank, ready to convert inputs to proper output signals)
* Now, when the Z80 reads the '''$8000~BFFF''' range, NEO-ZMC will map this to the M1 ROM zone '''$04000~$07FFF'''
