Parallel Port
The 25-pin Centronics parallel port is often called the printer
port because it is generally used only for printers. However, the
parallel interface has achieved a high level of standardization.
The parallel port is also EPP or Enhanced Parallel Port
compatible. This means you can use the port to connect other
peripheral devices designed to use a Centronics parallel
interface.
SCSI Port
The optional on-board SCSI host adapter allows you to connect
and control up to seven peripheral devices such as SCSI-
compatible disk drives, tape backup units, communications
devices, and CD-ROM drives.
The SCSI port is a parallel, multitasking interface which
supports both SCSI-1 and SCSI-2 devices.
The SCSI port is configured from the system SETUP program.
For SCSI system setup parameters, refer to the SCSI Control
Menu in
Using SETUP .
Business Audio Ports
The on-board business audio adapter chip allows you to use a
built-in external speaker jack and microphone input jack for full-
featured audio support of many popular software packages. The
external speaker jack and microphone input jack are mounted on
a bracket at the back of the system unit.
