2.3 Floppy Drive Connector (FDD1)
You can attach up to two floppy disk drives to the PCA-6010'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 connector cable.
On one end of the cable is a 34-pin flat-cable connector. On the other end are two
34-pin flat-cable connectors (usually used for 3.5" drives). The one on the end (after
the twist in the cable) connects to the A: floppy drive. The one in the middle connects
to the B: floppy drive.
2.4 Parallel Port (LPT1)
The parallel port is normally used to connect the single board computer to a printer.
The PCA-6010 includes an onboard parallel port, accessed through a 26-pin flat-
cable connector, LPT1. 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.
To install the bracket, find an empty slot in your chassis. Unscrew the plate that cov-
ers the end of the slot. Screw in the bracket in place of the plate. Next, attach the flat-
cable connector to LPT1 on the CPU card. Wire 1 of the cable is red or blue, and the
other wires are gray. Make sure that wire 1 corresponds to pin 1 of LPT1. Pin 1 is on
the upper right side of LPT1.
