Floppy and hard disk support
The dual floppy port supports all 3.5 in. and 5.25 in. drives up to
1.44 MB. The hard drive interface is a 16–bit IDE controller with
a 2 mm. connector for 2.5 in. drives.
Setup stored in serial EEPROM
The 4010 stores the setup information in nonvolatile EEPROM; as
a result it is immune to battery or power failure. The user can also
store additional information in the EEPROM. Up to 1,892 bytes
are available.
Hardware Reset
You can reset the system without turning off the power using the
hardware reset button or the RESET command. It also provides a
more complete reset than the <CTL> <ALT> <DEL> method.
Boot sequence
A system can execute from the on–card, solid–state disk, floppy or
hard disk.
