System Overview,
Continued
Addresses generated by DMA devices in the I/O system may be
translated by a scatter/gather map. The scatter/gather map can
map 32K byte pages. This translation is an option, enabled on a
device-by-device basis.
Serial Lines: The serial line interface supports the following
equipment:
Equipment
Keyboard
Mouse
Printer
Communication
port
Ethernet Interface: The Ethernet interface can connect to the
local area network (LAN) by using an attachment unit interface
(AUI, or thickwire) or 10BaseT twisted-pair cable. The selection
(thickwire or twisted pair) is software-controllable.
SCSI Interface: The SCSI interface consists of two separate
channels using two SCSI controller chips. These controller chips
connect to the TURBOchannel through an ASIC. The ASIC
buffers data to and from the SCSI controllers, providing 16
longword DMA bursts across the TURBOchannel for increased
bus efficiency.
ISDN Interface and Audio In/Out: An AMD 79C30A controller
chip provides an ISDN interface and telephone-quality audio
input and output. Jacks and connectors in the front of the unit
provide connections for a microphone and headphones.
Battery Backed-Up TOY: A battery backed-up time-of-year
(TOY) chip provides a time reference when the unit is powered
off.
