PT-2006 Mainboard Manual IRQ Functionality As you read through this manual, you will see the term IRQ on a number of occasions. It is important for you to know what this term means, particularly if you intend to upgrade your system.
Overview DMA Channels of ISA Cards Some Legacy and PnP ISA add-on cards may also need to use a Direct Memory Access (DMA) channel. DMA assignments for this mainboard are handled in the same way as the IRQ assignment process outlined above. For more information, please refer to Chapter 3 of this manual.
PT-2006 Mainboard Manual Serial Infrared (SIR) Connections This mainboard features support for highly-sophisticated SIR technology, which allows bi-directional and cordless data transactions with other IrDA compliant computers and peripheral devices using infrared as a medium. This transmission is carried out in either Full Duplex Mode or Half Duplex Mode. The former allows simultaneous data transmission and reception, while the latter disables the reception when transmission occurs.
Page 13
Overview Universal Serial Bus (USB) Functionality This mainboard features integrated support for state-of-the-art USB technology, which provides high-speed and easy-to-use Plug & Play connections to the future generation of external peripherals, such as keyboards, mouse, monitors, game devices, scanners, printers, and fax/modems.
