two serial ports, one bidirectional multi-mode parallel port and a keyboard
and mouse controller.
The 9-pin serial ports (whose pin layouts are depicted on
RS-232-C and are buffered by 16550A UARTs, with 16-Byte FIFOs. They can
be programmed as COM1, COM2, COM3, COM4, or disabled.
The 25-pin parallel port (also depicted on
compatible, supporting IEEE 1284. It can be programmed as LPT1, LPT2, or
disabled. It can operate in the four following modes:
Standard mode (PC/XT, PC/AT, and PS/2 compatible).
Bidirectional mode (PC/XT, PC/AT, and PS/2 compatible).
Enhanced mode (enhanced parallel port, EPP, compatible).
High speed mode (MS/HP extended capabilities port, ECP, compatible).
The integrated floppy disk controller (FDC) supports any combination of
two of the following: tape drives, 3.5-inch flexible disk drives, 5.25-inch
flexible disk drives. It is software and register-compatible with the 82077AA,
