- Hello out there,
-
- last time I screwed my A2000 rev. 4.1 apart, I noticed a connector (CN 304)
- which sits right next to the external serial port. There was a posting in
- c.s.a.h not long ago which stated that this is "the internal serial port" of
- the A2000. I mailed the guy who wrote the article, but he was of no help.
-
- My questions: - is this port usable in terms of hardware (pins connected
- to serial chip)?
- - if it is indeed usable, what's it's pinout?
- - is it supported by serial.device?
-
- Any answers are appreciated as I'm in need of a cheap additional serial port.
- Please email your answers, I'll post a summary if there's anything of
- interest.
-
- Have a nice day,
- Hanno
-
- P.S.: No, I ~don't~ have any schematics for my Amiga. C= didn't supply them.
