I. HARDWARE GUIDES 2. Personal488 (with GP488B)
Personal488 User’s Manual, Rev. 3.0 I-9
Note: The GP488B, as illustrated, has one DIP switch, two 12-pin headers and one 3-pin header,
labeled SW1, J3, J4, and J5, respectively. The DIP switch setting, along with the arrangement
of the jumpers on the headers, set the hardware configuration.
Default Settings
The figure indicates the GP488B default configuration. Notice that SW1 controls the wait state
generation, the I/O base address and interrupt response level, J4 sets the interrupt request level, J3
selects the DMA channel, and J5 selects the clock source.
I/O Base Address Selection
The I/O base address sets the addresses used by the computer to communicate with the IEEE 488
interface hardware on the board. The address is normally specified in hexadecimal and can be
02E1 ,
22E1 , 42E1 , or 62E1 . The registers of the IOT7210 IEEE 488 controller chip and other auxiliary
registers are then located at fixed offsets from the base address.
Most versions of Driver488 are capable of managing as many as four IEEE 488 interface boards. To
do so, the board configurations must be arranged to avoid conflict among themselves. No two boards
may have the same I/O address, but they may, and usually should, have the same DMA channel and
interrupt level.
The factory default I/O base address is 02E1 . To use another, set SW1 switches 4 and 5 according to
the following table and figure.
