Functional Description

Parallel (printer) port

Ethernet transceiver interface

SCSI mass storage interface

Serial Port Interface

The CD2401 serial controller chip (SCC) is used to implement the four serial ports. The serial ports support the standard baud rates (110 to 38.4K baud). The four serial ports are different functionally because of the limited number of pins on the P2 I/O connector.

Serial port 1 is a minimum function asynchronous port. It uses:

RXD

CTS

TXD

RTS

Serial ports 2 and 3 are full function asynchronous ports. They use:

RXD

CTS

DCD

TXD

RTS

DTR

Serial port 4 is a full function asynchronous or synchronous port. It can operate at synchronous bit rates up to 64 k bits per second. It uses:

RXD

CTS

DCD
