Hardware Compatibility

The computer supports most of the interfaces used by the IBM Personal Computer AT* and the Personal System/2* (PS/2*)

products. In many cases, the command and status organization of these interfaces is maintained.

The functional interfaces for the computer are compatible with the following:

Ÿ

The

Intel

8259

interrupt controllers

(edge

trigger mode).

 

Ÿ

The

Intel

8254

timers driven from

1.193

MHz (channels 0,

1, and

 

2).

 

 

 

 

 

 

ŸThe Intel 8237 DMA controller-address/transfer counters, page registers, and status fields only. The command and request

 

registers,

and the rotate and

mask functions, are not supported.

 

The

mode

register is partially

supported.

Ÿ

The

NS16550

serial

communications controller.

Ÿ

The

Intel

Pentium

microprocessor.

ŸThe Intel 8086**, 8088**, 80286**, 80386**, and i486DX microprocessors.

Ÿ

The

Intel

8087**, 80287**, 80387** math coprocessors.

Ÿ

The

Intel

82077AA** diskette

drive controller.

Ÿ

The

keyboard interface at

addresses hex 0060 and hex 0064.

ŸDisplay modes supported by the IBM Monochrome Display and

Printer Adapter, the

IBM Color/Graphics Monitor Adapter, and the

IBM Enhanced Graphics

Adapter.

ŸThe parallel printer ports (Parallel 1, Parallel 2, and Parallel 3) in compatibility mode.
