General Information
Serial I/O Ports:
Four asynchronous serial I/O ports are contained in two
Signetics 2681 DUARTs. Each port can be programmed for
transmit and receive baud rates up to 38.4 Kb. Receive
buffers are quadruply buffered to minimize the possibility
of data overrun. Each DUART also contains a
programmable timer/counter. Ordinarily, one port is for a
serial mouse, one port is for the console (PTERM), one port
is for LK401-type keyboard. The I/O lines for the fourth
port are normally allocated as RTS/CTS for the console
port, but can be rejumpered as a serial port.
PC Keyboard Port:
An Intel 82C42PC keyboard controller supports standard
PC keyboards (PTERM and PX Windows software support
available). Connection is made via a mini-DIN PS/2
connector.
SCSI Port:
On the VCT-V and VCU-V an optional Small Computer
Systems Interface (SCSI) peripheral port, using an NCR
5380 controller, supports up to 7 high speed (1 MB/second)
8-bit parallel intelligent devices. It allows any compatible
device (such as a SCSI disk) to be used.
For improved performance, an alternate port address mode
allows the 34020 to utilize the 5380 pseudo-DMA mode,
which automatically operates the SCSI handshake lines
during data transfers.
Since the 5380 is highly programmable, the SCSI port may
also be used as an 8-bit parallel I/O port.
At this time, no direct software support is available for
the SCSI.
High Speed Port (HSP):
A direct reading 32-bit port allows the 34020 to connect to
an external device and read data directly into memory at
page-mode speeds (100 ns per transfer). A simple
handshake interface is used to control the external device.
Special routines in the graphics subroutine package support
HSP transfers.
The HSP is connected via the VMEbus P2 connector, using
the VSB pinout for most signals. However, it is
not
VSB
compatible.
