Appendix A: Technical Specifications
NOTE
ATA-66 and ATA-100 are faster timings and require a specialized cable (80-conductor) to reduce
reflections, noise, and inductive coupling.
The Parallel ATA IDE interfaces also support ATAPI devices (such as CD-ROM drives).
The BIOS supports Logical Block Addressing (LBA) and Extended Cylinder Head Sector (ECHS)
translation modes. The drive reports the transfer rate and translation mode to the BIOS. The Gator Mini-
ITX supports Laser Servo (LS-120) diskette technology through the Parallel ATA IDE interfaces. The
BIOS supports booting from an LS-120 drive.
NOTE
The BIOS will always recognize an LS-120 drive as an ATAPI floppy drive. To ensure correct operation, do
not configure the drive as a hard disk drive.
Serial ATA Interfaces
The Gator Mini-ITX features two (Sil 3512) independent Serial ATA ports with a theoretical maximum
transfer rate of 150 MB/s per port. One device can be installed on each port for a maximum of two Serial
ATA devices. A point-to-point interface is used for host to device connections, unlike Parallel IDE, which
supports a master/slave configuration and two devices per channel.
For compatibility, the underlying Serial ATA functionality is transparent to the operating system.
NOTE
Many Serial ATA drives use new low-voltage power connectors and require adaptors or power supplies
equipped with low-voltage power connectors.
Serial Ports
Up to six high speed RS-232 serial ports 16 Bytes FIFO (16550/16550D). COM2 optional RS-232 IrDA
and COM1 optional RS-422/485. COM1 and COM2 are standard, other ports are optional.
Parallel Port
One bi-directional parallel port. EPP/ECP mode compatible.
Keyboard/Mouse Port
One mouse/keyboard combined PS/2 connector.
USB Interfaces
Six Universal Serial Bus connectors. USB 1.1 and USB 2.0 compliant.
On-board Ethernet
Two RJ45 Ethernet connectors (second optional, both optional 10/100/1000).
On-board Buzzer
Audio
Audio (AD1981B) AC97 compliant. Microphone In, Stereo Line In and Out, Headphone Out and CD In.
