Serial / parallel

The two 9-pin serial ports (whose pin layouts are depicted on page 58)

communications ports

support RS-232-C and are buffered by 16550 UARTs, with 16 Byte FIFOs.

 

They can be programmed as COM1, COM2, COM3, COM4, or disabled.

 

The 25-pin parallel port (also depicted on page 58) is Centronics

 

compatible, supporting IEEE 1284. It can be programmed as LPT1, LPT2, or

 

disabled. It can operate the four modes:

 

Standard mode (PC/XT, PC/AT, and PS/2 compatible).

 

Bidirectional mode (PC/XT, PC/AT, and PS/2 compatible).

 

Enhanced mode (enhanced parallel port, EPP, compatible).

 

High speed mode (MS/HP extended capabilities port, ECP, compatible).

FDC

The integrated flexible drive controller (FDC) supports any combination of

 

two from the following: tape drives, 3.5-inch flexible disk drives, 5.25-inch

 

flexible disk drives. It is software and register compatible with the 82077AA,

 

and 100% IBM compatible. It has an A and B drive-swapping capability and a

 

non-burst DMA option.

Keyboard and Mouse

The computer has an 8042-based keyboard and mouse controller. The
