MAIN PBA
This section describes the functions of each circuit on the Main PBA.
The Main PBA is the main control center of this machine. With the Main-CPU as the central component,
it consists of the ASIC (Engine controller) for DMA transfer control and printer control, ASIC (I/O port)
for I/O port control, Engine-CPU for control of the LSU, Sub-CPU for system control in Super Power
Save mode, and other peripheral devices.
