8.4
In this mode, the W83977F/ AF changes the printer interface pins to FDC input/output pins, allowing
the user to install a second floppy disk drive (FDD B) through the DB-25 printer connector. The pin
assignments for the FDC input/output pins are shown in Table 5-1.
After the printer interface is set to EXTFDD mode, the following occur:
(1) Pins MOB and DSB will be forced to inactive state.
(2) Pins DSKCHG , RDATA , WP , TRAK0 , INDEX will be logically ORed with pins PD4-PD0 to serve
(3) Pins PD4-PD0 each will have an internal resistor of about 1K ohm to serve as pull-up resistor for
(4) If the parallel port is set to EXTFDD mode after the system has booted DOS or another operating
8.5
In this mode, the W83977F/G, W83977AF/AG changes the printer interface pins to FDC input/output
pins, allowing the user to install two external floppy disk drives through the DB-25 printer connector to
replace internal floppy disk drives A and B. The pin assignments for the FDC input/output pins are
shown in Table5-1.
After the printer interface is set to EXTFDD mode, the following occur:
(1) Pins MOA , DSA , MOB , and DSB will be forced to inactive state.
