4.9ISA/IDE/floppy drive/parallel port (CN3)
The CPC-2245N provides a +5 V 16-bit ISA bus, one IDE channel (support two IDE devices), one parallel interface and one floppy interface (support two floppy drives). All these are provided via a 144-pin SODIMM gold finger (CN3), which can be plugged into a DODIMM socket on the user's system board. Users can choose suitable positions on their system board for their HDD, FDD or parallel connectors.
The floppy interface and parallel interface share the same pin assignment, so they cannot be used simultaneously. Users can select either an FDD or parallel port, by referring to their BIOS setup manual.
