Connecting a printer
An enhanced printer port is incorporated into the GEMINI. This port can be used to
support a Centronics-compatible printer or ECP/EPP bi-directional device. The port
signals are available on a 26 way boxed header and the pin assignment has been
arranged to allow 1:1 connection with a 25-way IDC D-Type socket. A suitable cable is
provided in the box. The D-type socket is compatible with a standard printer port
connector on a desktop machine.
See page
for pin details.

The GEMINI provides an AC97 audio codec that supports standard line in, line out,
microphone functionality, or alternatively can be configured in software to support the 5.1
speaker output format. The audio input/outputs are available through a 10 pin header. An
onboard CD audio input connector is also available.
