I/O greatly reduced the number of components required for
interfacing with floppy disk drives. The Super I/O supports two
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, 1 Mb/s, and 2 Mb/s.
The Super I/O provides two high speed serial communication
ports (UARTs), one of which supports serial Infrared communica-
tion. Each UART includes a 16-byte send/receive FIFO, a pro-
grammable baud rate generator, complete modem control capa-
bility, and a processor interrupt system. Both UARTs provide
legacy speed with baud rate up to 115.2 Kbps and also advanced
speed with baud rates of 230 K, 460 K, or 921 Kbps which
support higher speed modems.
The Super I/O supports one PC-compatible printer port (SPP), Bi-
directional Printer Port (BPP) and also Enhanced Parallel Port
(EPP) and Extended Capabilities Port (ECP). Also available,
through the printer port interface pins, are: Extension FDD Mode
and Extension 2FDD Mode allowing one or two external floppy
disk drives to be connected.
The Super I/O provides functions that comply with ACPI (Advanced
Configuration and Power Interface). It also has auto power
management to reduce power consumption.
The Super I/O complies with Microsoft PC97 Hardware Design
Guide. IRQs, DMAs, and I/O space resources are flexible to
adjust to meet ISA PnP requirement. Moreover, it meets the
specification of PC97's requirement in the power management:
ACPI and DPM (Device Power Management).
