Lynx port#8 is mapped as COM9
If more than one Lynx card is installed in the machine
then these can be linked together as shown in the cards’
installation manual, in which case they would share the SISR,
shared interrupt status register and interrupt line of the first card.
Install this combination as a single card, with one /L switch.
Older notation example
/L 03A0,3,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13 ’12’ port card.
/L 03A0,3,2-12 Equivalent new notation.
Lynx card with Shared Interrupt Status Register, SISR, at
i/o address 03A0 hex, Interrupt 3 is the shared interrupt,
Lynx card 1 port#1 is mapped as COM2
Lynx card 1 port#2 is mapped as COM3
Lynx card 1 port#3 is mapped as COM4
Lynx card 1 port#4 is mapped as COM5
Lynx card 1 port#5 is mapped as COM6
Lynx card 1 port#6 is mapped as COM7
Lynx card 1 port#7 is mapped as COM8
Lynx card 1 port#8 is mapped as COM9
Lynx card 2 port#1 is mapped as COM10
Lynx card 2 port#2 is mapped as COM11
Lynx card 2 port#3 is mapped as COM12
Lynx card 2 port#4 is mapped as COM13
Alternatively, the cards can be installed separately, each
card using its own status registers and interrupts. Note that
although linked cards can share interrupts, separate cards cannot
share any interrupt line.
Older notation example Two 8 port card.
/L 03A0,3,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9 1st card SISR at 03A0
/L 0300,7,10,11,12,13,14,15,16,17 2nd card SISR at 0300
/L 03A0,3,2-9 Equiv new notation 1st card.
/L 0300,7,10-17 Equiv new notation 2nd card.
