D1.2 IPB-RIO-HD-LPT-(FLEX)
Similar to the IPB-RIO-HD-FD, this transition module recovers the embedded IDE and LPT signals
from the CompactPCI backplane and presents them in a form ready for device connection. This
time, instead of a standard IDE header, the IDE device is connected using the familiar Inova flex
cables. Also, a slim-line floppy disk may be attached using a suitable cable to the LPT connector
(J13). A switch in BIOS allows the user to ‘redefine’ the signals!

Note:
If the LPT device is connected to this
transition module then a connection
cannot be made to the CPU base board.
Doing so could render the hardware
useless or cause any data communication
to fail.
