Dual RS232 with [[8bit Printer Ports|8bit Printer Port]]. Driver ROM from Panda Electronics Ltd.

== Known and Unknown Stuff ==

The ROM image from Panda Electronics is found on various webpages. However, there is nothing known about the hardware.

There are no known descriptions, photos, or adverts for the actual hardware.

So far, it is unknown if "Panda Hardware" does exists at all (possibly, Panda only made the software, and the corresponding hardware was produced or distributed by a different company - a possible candidate might be [[Timatic]] whom did offer a "dual rs232 with 8bit centronics")

Please add info if you know where the ROM image came from!

== Technical ==

The 8bit Printer Port is implemeted via a [[8255 PPI chip]]. The dual RS232 port is compatible with the [[Amstrad Serial Interface]]. I/O Ports are:
F9DCh Panda [[8255 PPI chip|PPI]] Port A - 8bit Printer data
F9DDh Panda [[8255 PPI chip|PPI]] Port B - 8bit general purpose I/O port
F9DEh Panda [[8255 PPI chip|PPI]] Port C - Handshake (bit0=Strobe.out, Bit5=Busy.in)
F9DFh Panda [[8255 PPI chip|PPI]] Control - 8bit Printer data
