MULTIBUS I/O (SLAVE) ACCESS CONFIGURATION

The EXOS 201 supports two simultaneous I/O ports, labeled port A and port B. In addition, the 201 supports either 8-bit or 16-bit memory addressing. When in 16-bit addressing mode, the port A address is selectable via jumper J52 & J53. Jumper J52A-G defines bits 1-7 of the memory address respectively, and J53A-H defines bits 8-15 respectively (when a jumper is closed, the bit that it corresponds to is set to 1; when open, the bit is set to 0.). For expample, if JP52A is closed, and JP52B-G & JP53A-H are open, the memory address selected is 0001h. When in 8-bit addressing mode, JP52A-G select bits 1-7 respectively, and JP53 is inactive. Regardless of the memory addressing mode, port B will always be located 1 byte above port A's address (e.g. Port A = 0001h, Port B = 0002h). Bit 0 is always set to 0 for port A, and 1 for port B. (Open=0, closed=1)

44-PIN ISBX CONNECTOR CONFIGURATION

The iSBX connector (IEEE P969 specification), is included for daughterboard options. There are two jumper-selectable interrupt lines (J13 and J14) which should be left open unless an optional daugherboard is installed. If a daughterboard is installed, one jumper or the other must be closed, but not both. JP13 closed selects IR0, JP14 selects IR1.
