Zorro is the collective name for the Amiga 1000 Expansion hardware
specification, which includes the expected hardware for a 100 pin edge
expansion slot box, the specification for the auto-configuration
circuitry expected to be used on every expansion card, and the size of
the expansion card. A book on this is available from Commodore in
West Chester.
