IDE Channel on the UltraSlim Bay

A primary IDE channel is provided on the UltraSlim Bay connector, providing two system settings:

I/O Address

IRQ Level

 

 

01F0–01F7

IRQ 14

03F6

 

 

 

A secondary IDE channel is provided on the UltraSlim Bay

 

 

connector,

providing

two

If

a

hard

disk

is

attached

 

to the hard disk connector,

an IDE

device

on the UltraSlim Bay becomes a primary slave. (The hard disk

 

attached

to

the hard disk connector is the primary master.) If no

 

hard

disk

is

attached

to the

 

hard disk connector, an IDE

device

on

the

UltraSlim

Bay

is

a

primary

master.

 

 

MIDI/Joystick Port

Note: To use a the MIDI/joystick port, you need a SelectaBase 600.

The MIDI/joystick port consists of the following functions:

MIDI port (in/out)

Joystick port

A standard game port connector is provided with a MIDI/joystick cable.

MIDI Interface

A MIDI communication

function is provided

with

the DSP

subsystem.

The MIDI interface

is compatible with

MPU-401

(UART

mode).
