> The VHDCI connector brings out the following ports.
> PS/2 keyboard port, 2 signals (Data, Clock);
> Two 115Kb/s serial ports, COM1 and COM2, 16550A, 8 pins each (full
modem

and Activity LEDs
> on main

> The Microdrive can be removed and replaced by a different Compact
Flash card, e.g. a
> 64MB
> solid-state CompactFlash card such as made by SanDisk or Lexar. A
standard
> CompactFlash
> socket is used which can accommodate any thickness CompactFlash card
from Type I (3.3

> through Type II (5 mm, such as the IBM Microdrive), to Type III (10
mm).
>
> The MPC operates the CompactFlash socket in True IDE mode as per the
CompactFlash 2
> standard. This permits any IDE device such as a 2.5" or 3.5" drive to
be plugged into
> the
> CompactFlash socket via a suitable adaptor (not supplied), permitting
a wide range of
> hard drives
> to be attached, from a 6 GB 2.5" drive up to a 27 GB 3.5" drive. The
only standard IDE

> brought out to the CompactFlash socket is BALE, Bus Address Latch
Enable, which is
