The Super I/O Controller

The Super I/O chip (NS 87364) provides control for two FDD devices, two serial ports,
one bidirectional multimode parallel port, and a keyboard and mouse controller.

Serial/Parallel Communications Ports

The 9-pin serial ports (whose pin layouts are depicted on page 114) support RS-232-C
and are buffered by 16550A UARTs, with 16-byte FIFOs. You can program them as
COM1, COM2, COM3, COM4, or you can disable them.

The 25-pin parallel port (also depicted on page 115) is Centronics compatible, supporting
IEEE 1284. You can program the port as LPT1, LPT2, or you can disable it. It can
operate in the following modes:
