1-6 Super I/O
The disk drive adapter functions of the Super I/O chip include a floppy disk
drive controller that is compatible with industry standard 82077/765, a data
separator, write pre-compensation circuitry, decode logic, data rate selec-
tion, a clock generator, drive interface control logic and interrupt and DMA
logic. The wide range of functions integrated onto the Super I/O greatly
reduces the number of components required for interfacing with floppy disk
drives. The Super I/O supports four 360 K, 720 K, 1.2 M, 1.44 M or 2.88 M
disk drives and data transfer rates of 250 Kb/s, 500 Kb/s or 1 Mb/s.
