This is fully functional as on the original +4.

### /ATTENTION signal
The /ATTENTION signal is not present on the C16/116 Expansion Port. Thus, if you need it, you will need to provide the board with it through the */ATTN* (*J1*) connector on V2 or through the relevant pin of the J3 pin header on V3. The signal is available on pin 3 of the [IEC (Serial) port](doc/iec_serial.png) and it can be connected in parallel to any other device you already have on that port, just break it out.

### +5VDC power supply
This is directly connected to the main power rails of the C16/116. Use common sense and do not draw "too much" power out of it.

### 9VAC power supply
This is not present on the C16/116 Expansion Port and thus the corresponding pins of the User Port are left unconnected. This should not be a big deal though, as the main use case for this is to provide the higher voltages needed for a fully-compliant RS-232 interface, but 16UP V2 has that built-in in a way that does not require an actual higher-voltage supply, and the same applies for the recommended adapter for V3. Let me know if you find any User Port peripherals that require it.

## Assembly
The parallel port on the +4 is driven through a MOS 6529 (U2 on the board). Since these days that IC is pretty hard to get hold of, an alternative circuit based on a 74LS654 was designed by Daniël Mantione ans was integrated into the board. Depending on what you choose to use:

- If you use an original MOS 6529: do NOT mount RN1.

You get my gratitude and cheap, professionally-made and good quality PCBs, I get some credit that will help with this and [other projects](https://www.pcbway.com/project/member/shareproject/?bmbid=41100). You won't even have to worry about the various PCB options, it's all pre-configured for you!

Also, if you still have to register, [you can use this link](https://www.pcbway.com/setinvite.aspx?inviteid=41100) to get some bonus initial credit (and yield me some more).
