CHAPTER 6
CONNECTING PERIPHERALS
Your WinBook computer includes a number of ports to allow the connection of external
peripherals. Although your notebook computer is a completely self contained unit which does not
require the addition of any other device to function, you may at some time or other find it
convenient to connect certain devices to your notebook. The WinBook supports the connection of
a wide range of commonly used devices just as is possible with a conventional desktop PC. Devices
include serial and parallel printers; a mouse or scanner, or any other device that requires a serial
port; an external floppy disk drive; an external keyboard; an external monitor etc. Each of the
on-board ports is detailed separately on the following pages. Please refer to Appendix B for details
of the pin connections of each port.

The external keyboard port doubles as a PS/2 mouse port and you may connect a PS/2 mouse
directly to this port. Please note that the PS/2 keyboard/mouse port can only use one device at a
time, either a mouse or a keyboard, not both.
