Connecting Signals with
Accessories
This appendix describes how to connect signals to your 653X device. Use
the first part of the appendix to acquaint yourself with the device control
signals. Then go to appropriate pinout diagrams (68 or 50-pin), which
display the layout of pin locations.
Control Signals
Use the four control signals to regulate/control the timing of your data
transfer when using the handshaking and pattern I/O modes. The direction
and function of each signal varies, depending on the mode of operation,
as shown in Table C-1.
