PIN ASSIGMENT(by: sort)

Description

 

 

1

STB#/DS0#_D14/_P14/_D12:O

An active low pulse on this output is used to strobe

 

 

 

 

the printer data into the printer.

 

 

 

 

The STROBE output is the complement of Bit 0 of the

 

 

 

 

printer control register.

 

 

 

 

Refer to parallel port description for use of this pin in

 

 

 

 

ECP and EPP mode.

 

 

 

 

Active low outputs select driver 0

 

 

2

PD0/INDEX3#_P14/_S:IO/I

Port data 0

 

 

 

 

This active low Schmidt trigger input senses from the

 

 

 

 

disk drive that the head is positioned over the

 

 

 

 

beginning of a track as marked by an index hole.

 

 

3

PD1/TRK0#_P14/_S:IO/I

Port data 1

 

 

 

 

This active low Schmidt trigger input senses from the

 

 

 

 

disk drive that the head is positioned over the

 

 

 

 

outermost track.

 

 

4

PD2/WRTPRT#_P14/_S:IO/I

Port data 2

 

 

 

 

This active low Schmidt trigger input senses from the

 

 

 

 

disk drive that a disk is write protected.

 

 

 

 

Any write command is ignored.

 

 

5

PD3/RDATA#_P14/_S:IO/I

Port data 3

 

 

 

 

Raw serial bit stream from the disk drive, low active.

 

 

 

 

Each falling edge represents a flux transition of the

 

 

 

 

encoded data.

 

 

6

PD4/DSKCHG_P14/_S:IO/I

Port data 4

 

 

 

 

This input senses that the driver door is open or that

 

 

 

 

the diskette has possibly been changed since the last

 

 

 

 

drive selection.

 

 

7

PD5_P14:IO

Port data 5

 

 

8

PD6/MTR0#_P14/_D12:IO/O

Port data 6

 

 

 

 

This active low outputs select motor drives 0.

 

 

9

PD7_P14:IO

Port data 7

 

 

10

ACK#/DS1#_T_D12:I/O

A low active output from the printer indicating that it

 

 

 

 

has received the data and is ready to accept new

 

 

 

 

data.

 

 

 

 

Bit 6 of the printer status register reads the ACK#

 

 

 

 

Input.

 

 

 

 

Refer to parallel port description for use of this pin in

 

 

 

 

ECP and EPP mode.

 

 

11

BUSY/MRT1#_T/_D12:_I/O

This is a status output from the printer, a high

 

 

 

 

indicating that the printer is not ready to receive new

 

 

 

 

data.
