ETX®-CD / ETX® Connectors
The parallel-communication interface uses I/O, IRQ, and DMA resources. The resources are allocated by the BIOS during
POST configuration and are set to be compatible with common PC/AT settings. You can change some parameters of the
parallel-communication interface through the BIOS setup.
Floppy
The floppy-disk interface shares signals with the parallel-communication interface. The floppy interface is limited to one
drive (drive_1). A standard floppy cable has two connectors for floppy drives. One connector has a non-twisted cable
leading to it, the other has a twisted cable leading to it. When using the floppy interface you must connect the floppy
drive to the connector (drive_1) that has the non-twisted cable leading to it.
The implementation of this subsystem complies with the ETX® Specification. Implementation information is provided in
the ETX® Design Guide. Refer to the documentation for additional information.
Configuration: The floppy-disk controller uses I/O, IRQ, and direct memory access (DMA) resources. These resources are
allocated by BIOS during POST configuration and are compatible with common PC/AT settings. You can change some
parameters of the parallel-communication interface through the BIOS setup.
