RB8506 -- Parallel Interface
Purpose
Provide digital inputs and outputs.
Description
Module RB8506 is a (dual) parallel interface. Internally the module may contain Motorola Peripheral Interface Adapter MC6821 (Pia) ICs or Rockwell Versatile Interface Adapater R6522 (Via) ICs or a combination of both.
The following variations of this module are known to exist:
- dual with two Pia's
- dual with a Pia and a Via
- dual with two Via's
- single Pia (small front)
Note that you should open each Pia/Via in a Parallel Interface module separately.
Configuration
The RB8506 parallel interface module has no properties that are configured at production time.
Default configuration
rb8506_pia "name1" { address = 0x90 }
rb8506_via "name2" { address = 0x90 }
When the Rulbus configuration file is read, the parallel interface ports are left unchanged.
