Booting from TS-9500
The BIOS in the TS-9500 can be used to boot the attached SBC. Setting Dip Switch #1
"ON" will cause the BIOS in the TS-9500 to be executed instead of the BIOS firmware
on the SBC. This can be useful if the main SBC flash chip has been corrupted. Setting
the Dip Switch #1 to the "OFF" position will cause the boot process to revert to the
normal method using the BIOS in the SBC Flash chip.
When DIP Switch #1 is "ON", then DIP Switches 2 and 3 must be selecting the correct
SBC BIOS. (See Section 11 – DIP Switch Settings)

Using the TS-9500 with a TS-3100
Current versions of the TS-3100 do not support IRQ1 on the PC/104 Bus pin A1. This
function is required for proper operation of the TS-9500 keyboard controller since the PC
standard uses IRQ1 for keyboard input. These products must have a jumper soldered
on the SBC from DIO1 port pin 14 (IRQ1) to the PC/104 Bus pin A1. Future "Revision B"
TS-3100 boards will not need this jumper added.
For development with a TS-3100, we suggest using a TS-3200 SBC.

Using the TS-9500 with a TS-2100, TS-2200, TS-2800
Although these products were not originally designed for use with the TS-9500, it is
possible to get some functionality. DIP Switch #1 must be in the "OFF" position. This
will cause the SBC to boot using the its own BIOS firmware. The VGA video will function
as expected. But none of the other functions on the TS-9500 (Keyboard, Mouse,
Compact Flash, Flash drive) will function due to BIOS limitations of these products.
