SixPakPlus (Type 1)                                 AST Part Number 201177-001


The SixPakPlus is a multi-function Memory Expansion board designed for the IBM

PC and XT and 100% compatibles running at 4.77 MHz.  In it's standard

configuration, it comes with anywhere between 64K and 384K of RAM using

industry standard 64K dynamic RAM chips, a Clock/Calendar a Serial Port

configurable as COM1: or COM2: and a Parallel Port configurable as LPT1 or

LPT2.  All memory installed on the SixPakPlus is designed to expand your PC to

it's 640K maximum.  It does not support extended or EMS/EEMS type memory.  In

addition to the basic configuration, it can be configured with a Game Port.


Note that the memory chip speed must be 200 nsec.


Please Refer to Tech Bulletin #0004 for more information on the Memory Chips.

RS232 JUMPER SETTINGS


    The RS232 configuration block is made up of three sets of three pins each.

    Their function is to minimize the need for making special I/O cables for

    some unique serial devices. The normal setting in nearly all cases is to

    install three jumpers connecting the middle and left pin in each row. In

    rare instances, a device may require that the CTS, DSR, or DCD signals be

    forced true. In these cases, move the corresponding jumper to connect the

    center and right pin.

    IRQ JUMPER BLOCK


        The IRQ block consists of three pairs of pins, labeled 3,4,7.

        Install a jumper at "3" if the Serial Port is configured as COM2,

        or at "4" if it is configured as COM1. Install a jumper at "7"

        if the Parallel Port is configured as LPT1.



RS-232 JUMPER BLOCK


    RS-232 configuration block is made up of six pairs of jumpers labeled 1-6.

    Their function is to minimize the need for making special I/O cables for

    some unique serial devices. The normal setting in nearly all cases is to

    install three jumpers on the even numbered options (2,4,&6). In rare

    instances, a device may require that the CTS, DSR, or DCD signals be

    forced true. In these cases, move the corresponding jumpers as follows:


        Move "2" to "1" to force True CTS

        Move "4" to "3" to force True DSR

        Move "6" to "5" to force True DCD
