Notes:
o Signals buffered by 74LS244 in connection card: A0-A15, DBIN, MEMEN*, WE*, CLRCLK*, RESET*, CLKOUT.
o Unbuffered signals: CRUIN, INTA*, AUDIOIN, READY
o Data bus is buffered by two 74LS245 (one at each end of the cable), driven by RDBENA (direction set by DBIN).
o All signals must be re-buffered on each card.
o Always High lines (AMA, AMB, AMC, SENILA*, SENILB*, PCBEN, HOLD*) are pulled up to +5 Volts by 47 Ohms resistors.
