- Extended configuration
The capability of the system can be extended
beyond that of the basic configuration, to handle
more diverse applications (see Fig. 1.3). This is
more achieved ·by connecting the Expansion module,
which permits the use of:
supplementary application software via the
built-in floppy disc drives;
- extra System RAM and an SCSI interface on
the extension boards supplied;
- the connection of a parallel printer via a
Print~r interface;
- Modem or port to another data processing
system via an RS-232C interface.
