Clock selection

SELECT System clock CPU clock EXDOS clock
0 8 MHz 4 MHz 8 MHz
1 12 MHz 6 MHz 9.6 MHz
2 16 MHz 8 MHz 10 MHz
3 20 MHz 10 MHz 12 MHz
4 4 MHz 2 MHz 13.33 MHz
5 8 MHz 4 MHz 16 MHz
6 8 MHz 4 MHz 8 MHz
7 8 MHz 4 MHz 8 MHz

Minimum value of system clock in "linked mode"

When we raise the EXDOS clock frequency, the data from the FDC controller will be sent faster.
In some cases, the processor clocked by a lower frequency may not be able to process transmitted data.
To prevent this situation, it is possible to activate the "linking" mode of clock signals.
In this mode the card's microcontroller will ensure that the processor's clock frequency is not less than the minimum frequency at which the processor is able to keep pace with data from the FDC controller.

Selected system clock 4 MHz 8 MHz 12 MHz 16 MHz 20 MHz
Selected EXDOS clock Actual frequency (System/CPU)
8 MHz 8 MHz 4 MHz 8 MHz 4 MHz 12 MHz 6 MHz 16 MHz 8 MHz 20 MHz 10 MHz

How to install

DTC is a complex interface. The installation requires interference with the computer.
The author has made every effort to make the interface as reliable and safe to use as possible. However,

You make any modifications inside of your equipment at your own risk !

What you need

  • Dream Turbo Card
  • L-connector
  • new Z80 processor suitable for work at clock speeds of at least 10 MHz (eg. Z84C0010P, Z84C0020P)

Enterprise mainboard preparation

  • desolder and remove internal 64KB RAM memory module (Enterprise 128 only)
  • desolder the Z80 processor

Installation of the L-connector
