SCSI Port
SCSI Port 3
The SCSI port on the Macintosh PowerBook 190 computer supports the SCSI interface as
defined by the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) X3T9.2 committee.
The external HDI-30 connector is identical to those used in other Macintosh PowerBook
models. The SCSI portion of the Combo IC connects directly to the external SCSI
connector and can sink up to 48 mA through each of the pins connected to the SCSI bus.
The data and control signals on the SCSI bus are active low signals that are driven by
open drain outputs.
Table 3-5 shows the signal assignments for the external SCSI connector. Note that pin 1
of the external SCSI connector is the /SCSI.DISK.MODE signal.
