2.3 Floppy Drive Connector (CN3)
You can attach up to two floppy disk drives to the PCA-6187's on board
controller. You can use 3.5" (720 KB, 1.44 MB) drives.
The single board computer comes with a 34-pin daisy-chain drive con-
nector cable. On one end of the cable is a 34-pin flat-cable connector. On
the other end are two sets of 34-pin flat-cable connector (usually used for
3.5" drives). The set on the end (after the twist in the cable) connects to
the A: floppy drive. The set in the middle connects to the B: floppy drive.
2.4 Parallel Port (CN4)
The parallel port is normally used to connect the single board computer to
a printer. The PCA-6187 includes an onboard parallel port, accessed
through a 26-pin flat-cable connector, CN4. The card comes with an
adapter cable which lets you use a traditional DB-25 connector. The cable
has a 26-pin connector on one end and a DB-25 connector on the other,
mounted on a retaining bracket. The bracket installs at the end of an
empty slot in your chassis, giving you access to the connector.
The parallel port is designated as LPT1, and can be disabled or changed
to LPT2 or LPT3 in the system BIOS setup.
To install the bracket, find an empty slot in your chassis. Unscrew the
plate that covers the end of the slot. Screw in the bracket in place of the
plate. Next, attach the flat-cable connector to CN4 on the CPU card. Wire
