Quatech Asynchronous Communications Adapter DSC-200/300 - Manual (Page 16)

4.4 Options Register
The Options Register allows software to identify the DSC-200/300 as a Quatech
Enhanced Serial Adapter. It also allows software to set the UART clock rate multiplier.
Figure 10 shows the structure of the Options Register.
The powerup default of the Options Register is all bits zero.

4.4.1 Enhanced Serial Adapter Identification
The ID bits are used to identify the DSC-200/300 as a Quatech Enhanced Serial
Adapter. Logic operations are performed such that the values read back from these bits
will not necessarily be the values that were written to them. Bit ID1 will return the
logical-AND of the values written to ID[1:0], while bit ID0 will return their
exclusive-OR.
Software can thus identify a Quatech Enhanced Serial Adapter by writing the ID
bits with the patterns shown in the "write" column of Figure 11, then reading the bits
and comparing the result with the patterns in the "read" column. Matching read
patterns verify the presence of the Options Register.
