2 System Board Chip-Set Super I/O Chip (37C932) The Super I/O chip (FDC37C932) is contained within a 160-pin PQFP package. The chip provides the control for the following devices. Flexible disk controller Parallel port controller UART1 controller UART2 controller RTC Keyboard controller Mouse controller General purpose I/O (GPIO) Function Logical device number 0 3 4 5 6 7 7 8 Serial / parallel communications ports The two 9-pin serial ports (whose pin layouts are depicted on page 58) support RS-232-C and are buffered by 16550 UARTs, with 16 Byte FIFOs. They can be programmed as COM1, COM2, COM3, COM4, or disabled. The 25-pin parallel port (also depicted on page 58) is Centronics compatible, supporting IEEE 1284. It can be programmed as LPT1, LPT2, or disabled. It can operate the four modes: Ì Standard mode (PC/XT, PC/AT, and PS/2 compatible). Ì Bidirectional mode (PC/XT, PC/AT, and PS/2 compatible). Ì Enhanced mode (enhanced parallel port, EPP, compatible). Ì High speed mode (MS/HP extended capabilities port, ECP, compatible). FDC The integrated flexible drive controller (FDC) supports any combination of two from the following: tape drives, 3.5-inch flexible disk drives, 5.25-inch flexible disk drives. It is software and register compatible with the 82077AA, and 100% IBM compatible. It has an A and B drive-swapping capability and a non-burst DMA option. Keyboard and Mouse Controller The computer has an 8042-based keyboard and mouse controller. The connector pin layouts are shown on page 58. The Windows 95 keyboard is 26
