Complete IDE Series: IDE200
Section One: Introduction
Congratulations on purchasing the Complete IDE200 from Boca
Research for ISA- and EISA-based systems. The important advantage
of IDE technology is having the fixed disk controller logic incorporated
onto the drive itself. This enables a faster access time when retrieving
and recording data. The IDE interface also provides more reliable
performance than older MFM and RLL encoding standards. The
IDE200 offers:
• a 25-pin IBM PC/AT compatible parallel printer port
• a 9-pin PC/AT compatible serial port (SERIAL port A).
• a 25-pin serial port (SERIAL port B).
• hard drive and diskette drive enable/disable capability
• hard drive primary/secondary selection
• primary and secondary IRQ for hard drive
• LED connector
You can select the address and IRQs used for each port via an array of
jumpers located on the IDE200. Other features include:
• Diskette drive interface
• Hard drive interface
• 16-bit interface
• I/O addresses:
Serial A (COM1 or COM3; IRQ4 or IRQ7), or Disabled.
Serial B (COM2 or COM4; IRQ3 or IRQ5), or Disabled.
• LPT 1-2 or disabled (IRQ 5 or 7)
