TSYST - PC/104 System Module

Floppy and hard disk control
Two serial ports
Parallel (printer) port
Single +5V supply
Mounting Holes for 2½" Disk Drive

The TSYST PC/104 module provides a range of commonly used support facilities for PC/104 systems. It provides floppy disk and IDE disk support, two serial ports and a printer port.

Hard Disk Drive
A 3½" IDE hard disk interface is provided. The IDE circuitry can be enabled or disabled using link options. Mounting holes for 2½" disk drives are provided on the TSYST.

Floppy
A floppy disk drive interface for 720kb, 1.2M and 1.44M drives is provided. The floppy disk interface circuitry can be enabled or disabled by jumpers.

Parallel I/O
A parallel interface is provided for use with a Centronics printer or as a general purpose I/O port. This port can be disabled or configured as LPTI, LPT2 or LPT3.

Serial I/O
Two PC compatible serial ports are provided. As standard the ports are configured for RS232 operation. Both serial ports can be individually configured for RS485 operation with the TS485-KIT.

The serial ports are normally configured as COM3 and COM4. COM3 can interrupt on IRQ4 and COM4 can interrupt on IRQ3 as on a desktop PC. Optionally these serial ports can be configured as COM1 and COM2 or disabled.

Power Supply
Single rail 5V supply required.

Environmental
0 to 70ºC operating temperature range.
-40 to +100ºC storage temperature range.
PCB material to UL94VO.

Dimensions
PCB size 3.775" x 3.550" (96mm x 90mm)

Note: The TSYST is not PC/104-compliant due to the floppy disk connector overhang. By replacing this right-angled connector with a straight type, users can gain PC/104-compliancy.
