4.4 Options Register

The Options Register allows software to identify the QSC(LP)-100 as a

Quatech Enhanced Serial Adapter. It also allows software to set the UART clock
rate multiplier. Figure 9 shows the structure of the Options Register.

The powerup default of the Options Register is all bits zero.

4.4.1 Enhanced Serial Adapter Identification

The ID bits are used to identify the QSC(LP)-100 as a Quatech Enhanced

Serial Adapter. Logic operations are performed such that the values read back
from these bits will not necessarily be the values that were written to them. Bit
ID1 will return the logical-AND of the values written to ID[1:0], while bit ID0
will return their exclusive-OR.

Software can thus identify a Quatech Enhanced Serial Adapter by writing

the ID bits with the patterns shown in the "write" column of Figure 10, then
reading the bits and comparing the result with the patterns in the "read" column.
Matching read patterns verify the presence of the Options Register.
