PARALLEL INTERFACE
The system's parallel interface integrates National Semiconductor’s PC87334 chip. It uses a
25-pin D-subconnector. The port is located on the system's rear panel.
The modes of operation available for a PC87334 chip are
compatibility mode
nibble mode
byte mode
Enhanced Capabilitied Port (ECP)
Enhanced Parallel Port (EPP).
The user selects between three parallel interface modes using Auto Setup. These include
unidirectional, bidirectional or enhanced. Unidirectional mode sends data output from the
standard ISA port only. Bidirectional mode sends data using the standard ISA port or PS/2
technology. Enhanced mode enables high speed data transmission to occur using either the
unidirectional or bidirectional modes.
