1-16 Technical InformationSERIAL INTERFACEThe RS-232C serial port is a 9-pin connector on the system’s rear panel. The serial portconsists of a 16550A compatible serial port controller with a programmable baud rate up to115,200 bps. The serial port connects an RS-232C device or an external modem. The de-fault serial port address is 3F8h and the interrupt level is IRQ04.NEC VERSA CHIP SETRefer to Table Section 1-3 for a quick summary of the chip types used in the system.

The CPU has power managementfeatures. NEC adopted the chip specifically for its pipelined Floating Point Unit (FPU), andlocal interrupt management.256K X Flash ROMThe N28F020 flash ROM is a 40-pin, (TSOP). The chip allows easy updates to the system'sBIOS if needed. More specifically, the ROM is flashed electronically, installing the latestBIOS revisions to the system. It is possible to reprogram the BIOS up to 100,000 times.See Section 2, Setup and Operation, for BIOS update procedures.SOLD BY laptopia2005 DO NOT RESELL!!SOLD BY laptopia2005 DO NOT RESELL!!
