Note

If you use ECP mode (Extended Capabilities Port), check

your parallel device software documentation for the correct

DMA channel (DRQ) setting. Then set jumpers JP8 and JP18

to match this setting if necessary. See “Changing the Jumper

Settings” in Chapter 4 for more information.

Using

the serial port

If you have a printer, a modem, or other device with a serial
interface, you can connect it to one of the serial (RS-232C) ports.
Make sure you have a cable compatible with a DB-9P connector.

To connect a serial device, insert the connector into
either of the two serial ports, which are marked with

the icons shown at the left. If you are connecting only

one serial device, use the serial 1 port.

1.
