| Pin # | Signal | Description |
| 80 | PD0 | Parallel Port Data 0 – This pin (0 to 7) provides a parallel port data signal |
|
| INDEX* | and is the printer data LSB. |
|
| Floppy Index | |
|
|
| |
|
|
| track. |
|
|
|
|
| 81, 82 | VCC | DC Power – +5V +/- 5% |
| 83 | RXD1 | Receive Data 1 – Serial port 1 receive data in. |
|
|
|
|
| 84 | ACK* | Parallel Acknowledge * – This is a status input signal from the printer. A |
|
|
| Low State indicates it has received the data and is ready to accept new data. |
|
| DRV* | Floppy Drive Select 1 – This signal selects drive 1. |
|
|
|
|
| 85 | RTS1* | Request To Send 1 – Indicates Serial port 1 is ready to transmit data. Used |
|
|
| as hardware handshake with CTS1 for low level flow control. |
| 86 | BUSY | Parallel Busy – This is a status input signal from the printer. A high state |
|
|
| indicates the printer is not ready to accept data. |
|
| MOT* | Floppy Motor Control 1 – This signal selects motor on drive 1. |
|
|
|
|
| 87 | DTR1* | Data Terminal Ready 1 – Indicates Serial port 1 is powered, initialized, and |
|
|
| ready. Used as hardware handshake with DSR1 for overall readiness. |
| 88 | PE | Parallel Paper End – This is a status input signal from the printer. A high |
|
|
| state indicates it is out of paper. |
|
| WDATA* | Floppy Write Data – Encoded data to the drive for write operations. |
|
|
|
|
| 89 | DCD1* | Data Carrier Detect 1 – Indicates external serial device is detecting a carrier |
|
|
| signal (i.e., a communication channel is currently open). In direct connect |
|
|
| environments, this input is driven by DTR1 as part of the DTR1/DSR1 |
|
|
| handshake. |
| 90 | SLCT* | Parallel Select – This is a status output signal from the printer. A high state |
|
|
| indicates it is selected and powered on. |
|
| WGATE* | Floppy Write Gate – Signals drive to enable current flow in the write head. |
|
|
|
|
| 91 | DSR1* | Data Set Ready 1 – Indicates external serial device is powered, initialized, |
|
|
| and ready. Used as hardware handshake with DTR1 for overall readiness. |
| 92 | MSCLK | Mouse Clock – This signal clocks the data from the mouse. |
|
|
|
|
| 93 | CTS1* | Clear To Send 1 – Indicates external serial device is ready to receive data. |
|
|
| Used as hardware handshake with RTS1 for low level flow control. |
| 94 | MSDAT | Mouse Data – This signal provides the mouse data. |
|
|
|
|
| 95 | TXD1 | Transmit Data 1 – Serial port 1 transmit data out |
|
|
|
|
| 96 | KBCLK | Keyboard Clock – This signal clocks the data from the keyboard. |
| 97 | RI1* | Ring Indicator 1 – Indicates external serial device is detecting a ring |
|
|
| condition. Used by software to initiate operations to answer and open the |
|
|
| communications channel. |
| 98 | KBDAT | Keyboard Data – This signal provides the keyboard data |
|
|
|
|
| 99 | GND | Ground |
| 100 | GND | Ground |
Notes: The shaded area denotes power or ground. The signals marked with * = Negative true logic.
