Floppy disk controller
The 2060 CPU Card supports a 3.5 in. or 5.25 in. floppy drive via the LPT
connector on the HDC-18-Multiport cable and the connector at J2. Refer to page 63
for the pinout of the LPT port and the LPT-to-floppy adapter cable. Note that only
the LPT-to-Floppy cable part # 6470 can be used with this card, as the floppy pin
out from the LPT port differs from other cards.
Note
See Appendix A – Mating connectors for mating information on the floppy disk
connector.
Power requirements
You must supply power to the floppy drive through an external source. Refer to
your floppy drive manual for specific instructions.
Installing a floppy disk drive
1. Power on the 2060 CPU Card. Enter Setup to set up the BIOS. You can
execute this program by pressing “F2” during system bootup. Configure the
LPT port for “Floppy.” The system steps you through the configuration. Also,
refer to the Setup programs chapter for more information on the BIOS Setup
program.
2. Disconnect power to the 2060 CPU Card.
3. Connect the HDC-18-Multiport cable to J2 on the 2060 CPU Card (see page 20
for location of J2.
4. Connect the LPT-to-floppy adapter cable (P/N 6470) to the LPT port on the
HDC-18-Multiport cable.
5. Insert the 34-pin connector on the LPT-to-floppy cable into the rear of the
floppy drive. Make sure pin 1 on the cable is connected to pin 1 on the drive.
6. Connect power to the floppy drive.
Hard disk controller
The 2060 CPU Card supports three 16–bit IDE devices. Since the CompactFlash is
connected to the Primary IDE channel with a dedicated IDE controller, additional
IDE devices connected through J500 will show up in Setup as Secondary IDE
devices (master and slave).
Standard IDE devices such as hard drives and CD-ROM drives are interfaced via
40-pin connectors on the HDC-18-HDD/FP cable installed at J500.
UltraDMA modes are not supported directly by the 2060. These modes require an
80-pin connector, and there is no adapter available for the IDE connector used on
the 2060.
