Chapter 9 Peripherals

You can attach a great variety of accessories to your notebook's ports. Each port will be
described below.

9.1 PS/2 Keyboard Connector

The notebook includes a 6-pin mini DIN Connector. You can use this connector to
attach an external keyboard, or PS/2 mouse.

9.2 Parallel Port

The Parallel Port, also known as the Printer port, uses a standard D-type 25-pin
connector. You can connect either a pocket LAN adapter, a printer or any EPP/ECP
device to this bi-directional port. This port can be controlled either through BIOS setup
or application programs. For detail, refer to Parallel Port in Chapter 11.6.

9.3 COM Port

This COM Port allows external Fax/Modem, serial Mouse, or any other standard
RS-232C devices to be connected to your notebook. Since this port is equipped with a
high speed buffer (16550 compatible), it supports high-speed serial devices, such as
28.8 Kbps Fax/Modem. This port is a 9-pin D-type standard connector. If your
peripheral uses the larger 25-pin connection, ask your local dealer for a 9-pin to 25-pin
converter.
