Notes:

[1] All these pins have the same function with both the IBM and TI busses although the terminology may differ ("AIOWC" vs. "-IOW" where IBM omits the "A" to indicate an advanced signal, one sent ahead of time to give the circuits time to prepare to carry out the operation and uses a preceding "-" to indicate an active low signal where TI uses a trailing "C" to indicate a "Complemented" (active low) signal or the completely different names of "NMI" and "-I/O CH CK" for the same function).

[2] Both busses use these for interrupts and they are identical as far as hardware is concerned. Only the software need differ because different interrupts are activated and different interrupt vectors are used. On the TI, these are used:


      Pin    Hardware interrupt   Interrupt vector number
      B4            IR0               INT 40h
      B21           IR6               INT 46h (disk controller)
      B22           IR5               INT 45h
      B23           IR4               INT 44h
      B24           IR2               INT 42h (communications)
      B25           IR1               INT 41h

[3] No -5V dc is available on the TI. You *could* plug in a card that took the -12V dc from pin B7 and converted it to -5V output on pin B5 to be used by other cards taking the -5 V dc from that pin. (The "bused" means that there is no connection between the TI PC and that pin on the bus but all of the same-numbered "bused" pins on the card connectors are tied together.)

[4] (See also Note [3]) The signals on the IBM PC on these lines are all associated with DMA or refresh. The TI does not use DMA and the refresh method differs on the TI so any IBM card that uses these features will be unusable on the TI.

[5] The signals on these pins differ on the IBM and on the TI but I don't know what conditions are necessary for either of the signals to be invoked or used and have seen no ill effects plugging in an IBM-compatable video card and accessing its static memory.

[6] These carry comparable clock signals on the TI PC and the IBM PC. The frequencies of the clocks differ, however, and anything that is timing-critical should not rely on the clocks being the same.

[7] Forced low on the TI which would disable any DMA on IBM cards.
