   o   10 Mhz M68000 processor   
   o   0.5Mb program and 2.0Mb page buffer storage   
   o   16Kb EPROM including diagnostics and loader   
      
   "high-speed video interface"   
      
   -  FIFO and serializer logic to convert the page image in RAM to a video   
   bit stream for transmission to the 4216 Model 020.   
      
   -  An interface port between the M68000 and the Personal System/2.  The   
   interface consists of a modified parallel printer adapter design.  This   
   is the only communication between the Adapter and the Personal System/2   
   with no processor memory space being used by the adapter.   
      
   This interface emulates the Personal System/2 printer port (i.e., LPT2)   
   when an ASCII printer emulator is loaded and can be accessed by normal   
   BIOS calls.  It also can be switched to an alternate (high-speed) mode   
   that transfers data using a packet mode protocol.  The interface also   
   allows bi-directional data transfer.
