A-10 Connector Pin Assignments
IDE Interface Connectors
All signal levels in the IDE interface are TTL compatible. A logic 1 is a signal whose volt-
age level is between 2.0 and 5.0 V. A logic 0 is a signal measuring between 0.00 V and
0.70 V.
The two system board IDE connectors are physically identical. Electrically the local bus
IDE connector (P8) is faster. Table Appendix A-10 provides the IDE pin assignments. All
signals on the Host interface have the prefix HOST. All negatively active signals are further
prefixed with a “–” designation. All positively active signals are prefixed with a “+” desig-
nation.
