+= The Utility Buffer and the Expansion Port 
+
+The utility buffer behaves a lot like the screen buffer with the obvious difference that it is not drawn to the screen.
+This can be used for intermediate storage at runtime, but it is always initialized to be filled with zeros when the program starts.
+
+Its second function is to communicate with the expansion port.
+The goal is to provide a mechanism for someone to add additional functionality to their emulator without making it completely incompatible.
+This we call the expansion card.
+The mechanism works as follows:
+If the expansion port is triggered with the *Sync* instruction, it writes out the full utility buffer through the virtual port, making it available for the extension card to read. It is then replaced by $2^16$ new values provided by the extension. From the programs perspective, this is an atomic operation. It triggers the mechanism with the *Sync* instruction and when it gets to run again, the whole buffer has been exchanged. This is supposed to model a transfer of data between the program and the virtual extension card. 
+It should follow the following rules:
+- The data coming in can not depend on the data being flushed out this frame. It can be influenced by previous transfers, but it can not run computations during a transfer. 
+- The expansion card does not get access to any other information internal to the system (screen buffer, memory or instruction pointer). It can not manipulate these components either. 
+- It can not manipulate the utility buffer at any point where the mechanism was not explicitly envoked.
+- It can not see or mainipulate what is on the screen or what input is being passed to the system.
+- It can not change any rule of the emulation. 
+
+
+Synchronizations that are caused by exceeding the instruction limit never trigger the expansion mechanism.
+
+If no extension card is available, there is no answer when the exchange is triggered. As a result the utility buffer is simply cleared.
+
+Here are some examples of what an extension card might do:
+- Play an audio sample. 
+- Provide keyboard or other text input. 
+- Perform some computation on the input and report back the result the next time it is activated. 
+- Access some emulated file system.
