4.5 Options Register
The Options Register allows software to identify the DSCLP-200/300 as a
Quatech Enhanced Serial Adapter. It also allows software to set the UART clock
rate multiplier. Figure 10 shows the structure of the Options Register.
The powerup default of the Options Register is all bits zero.

4.5.1 Enhanced Serial Adapter Identification
The ID bits are used to identify the DSCLP-200/300 as a Quatech
Enhanced Serial Adapter. Logic operations are performed such that the values
read back from these bits will not necessarily be the values that were written to
them. Bit ID1 will return the logical-AND of the values written to ID[1:0], while
bit ID0 will return their exclusive-OR.
Software can thus identify a Quatech Enhanced Serial Adapter by writing
the ID bits with the patterns shown in the "write" column of Figure 11, then
reading the bits and comparing the result with the patterns in the "read" column.
Matching read patterns verify the presence of the Options Register.
