Serial and Parallel Interface Ports
This system comes equipped with two serial ports and one parallel port.
Both types of interface ports will be explained in this chapter.
1.7.3.1 The Serial Interface: COM1/COM2
The serial interface port is sometimes referred to as an RS-232 port or an
asynchronous communication port. Mice, printers, modems and other
peripheral devices can be connected to a serial port. The serial port can
also be used to connect your computer with another computer system. If
you wish to transfer the contents of your hard disk to another system it can
be accomplished by using each machine’s serial port.
The serial ports on this system have two 9-pin connectors. Some older
computer systems and peripherals used to be equipped with only one
25-pin connector. Should you need to connect your 9-pin serial port to an
older 25-pin serial port, you can purchase a 9-to-25 pin adapter.
