—
OR-tied signal that is used to indicate a Reset condition.
—
16 data-bit signals that, with the parity-bit signal, form the
data bus. DB15 is the most significant bit, and has the highest
priority during the Arbitration phase.
—
Data parity bits that are set to odd, but are jumper-selectable
options. There are two discrete parity bits, one for the lower 8
data bits, the other for the upper 8 bits. Parity is not valid
during the Arbitration phase.
