I/O Subsystem

The I/O subsystem, implemented with an SMC37C655IR Super I/O
Controller Chip, provides for such functions as internal floppy drive control,
serial and parallel ports and support for the Serial Infrared port. The Super
I/O Controller includes the following features:

•

100 percent compatible with ISA, EISA, and micro-channel architectures

•

Built-in floppy disk controller

•

Two UARTs

•

Software compatible with the PC16550A and PC16450

•

MIDI compatible

•

Infrared support on UART2 (IRDA-compliant)

•

Bidirectional Parallel Port

•

Enhanced Parallel Port (EPP) compatible

•

Extended Capabilities Port (ECP) compatible, including level 2
support

•

Bidirectional under either software or hardware control

•

Compatbile with ISA, EISA, and Micro Channel architectures

•

Ability to multiplex FDC signals on parallel port pins for
external FDD

•

Includes protection circuit against damage caused when
printer is powered up, or operated at higher voltages

•

Integral address decoder- provides selection of all primary and
secondary ISA addresses including COM1-4 and LPT1-3.

•

Enhanced Power Management Function

•

Enhanced programmable power-down and wake-up modes
