Big request!!!!

The following situation happened to us: a friend of mine
a spektrumist, having seen how great it is to work at Fido and
how many spektrumists sit there, he was eager to take part in it too. For this occasion, he purchased a
USR Robotics 14400 modem, which works great on an IBM PC. Some features of this modem were noticed: for example, it uses contacts A20 and A21 on the ISA connector. Subject to everyone. Anyone who has
information about what these conclusions are, please share. And
in general, I am interested in information about all the contacts of the ISA connector. Thank you in advance!!!!!!!

Long life and prosperity to you, All!

With best wishes, Musa Khaybullin.

put them on +5.

Address lines A11 and A10, respectively. From these lamellas
printed conductors extend somewhere “deep” into the modem?
Pull them up to +5V with resistors if the modem is connected
using the MK.

Signal Description

A0-A19 Address Bits 0-19 allow access to 1Mb memory and 64K of
port addresses.
A17-A23 Address Bits 17-23 allow access from 1Mb memory to 16Mb
AEN Address Enable; When active the DMA controller has
control of the Address and Data BUS as well as the
MEMR/MEMW lines. When inactive the CPU has control of
these lines
ALE Address Latch Enable (output); used to latch addresses
from the CPU. Forced active during DMA cycles.
CARD SLCTD Card Selected; activated by cards in the XT's slot 8
CLK System clock signal (actual BUS speed)
D0-D7 Data bits 0-7 for I/O to memory and I/O
DACK0-DACK3 DMA Acknowledge for channels 0-3; used by the controller
to acknowledge DMA requested. DACK0 is used for memory
refresh (MREF)
DRQ0-DRQ3 DMA Request 0-3; used by peripherals to get service from
the DMA controller; Held active until the corresponding
DACKx signal becomes active.
I/O CH CHK I/O Channel Check; Generates a Non Maskable Interrupt
I/O CH RDY I/O Channel Ready; pulled inactive my memory or I/O
devices to lengthen memory or I/O cycles. Usually used
by slower devices to add wait states. Should not be
held inactive for more than 17 cycles.
I/O CS16 I/O Chip Select 16 Bit; 16 bit I/O cycle
IOR I/O Read; instructs an I/O device to drive its data
onto the system BUS
IOW I/O Write; instructs an I/O device to read data from
the BUS
IRQ2-IRQ7 Interrupt Requests 2-7; signals the CPU that an I/O
device needs service (see 8259)
MASTER Used with DRQ to gain control of system
MEM CS16 Memory Chip Select 16 Bit; 16 Bit memory cycle
MEMR Memory Read; this signal is driven by the CPU or DMA
controller and instructs memory to drive its data onto
the system BUS. Present on both PC and AT extension BUS
MEMW Memory Write; this signal is driven by the CPU or DMA
controller and instructs memory to read and store data
from the system BUS. Present on both PC and AT
extension BUS
OSC Oscillator; 14.31818 MHz clock (70ns period); 50% duty
cycle
RESET DRV Reset Drive; used to reset system logic
SBHE System BUS High Enable; activates data bits 8-15 on AT
extension BUS
TC Terminal Count; pulses when the terminal count for a
DMA channel is reached

- all ISA BUS signals use standard TTL levels
- input and output are relative to the CPU

Isn’t this crazy?

Or did you mean A11 and A10 address signals?
In this case, I have already answered the question.

Several people have already advised me to pull them up to +5V, what should I do?

The poke method is the best.

MK> +5V, what should I do?

Here’s what’s the matter:

Everyone is too lazy :) to search the docks for real addresses of COM ports
offtopic. Accordingly - COM1, COM2, COM3 and COM4.
You find this information, “split” these addresses into bin, i.e. you convert them into binary
form, and it will immediately become clear where and who needs to be pulled up. :) Take the number of digits to 16, to be sure...
