Floppy Drive Connector (FDD1)

You can attach up to two floppy disk drives to the PCA-6011's on board controller.
You can use 3.5" (720 KB, 1.44 MB) drives.
The single board computer comes with a 34-pin daisy-chain drive connector cable.
On one end of the cable is a 34-pin flat-cable connector. On the other end are two 34-
pin flat-cable connectors (usually used for 3.5" drives). The one on the end (after the
twist in the cable) connects to the A: floppy drive. The one in the middle connects to
the B: floppy drive.

Parallel Port (LPT1)

The parallel port is normally used to connect the single board computer to a printer.
The PCA-6011 includes an onboard parallel port, accessed through a 26-pin flat-
cable connector, LPT1. The card comes with an adapter cable which lets you use a
traditional DB-25 connector. The cable has a 26-pin connector on one end and a DB-
25 connector on the other, mounted on a retaining bracket. The bracket installs at the
end of an empty slot in your chassis, giving you access to the connector.
