1.5 Video BIOS
The standard BIOS chip supports eight kinds of flat panel displays:
1024 x 768 DSTN (Sharp LM14X82)
640 x 480 MONO (Sharp LM64P89)
640 x 480 DSTN (Kyocera KCB6448BSTT-X5)
800 x 600 DSTN
640 x 480 SHARP TFT
640 x 480 18-bit TFT (Toshiba LTM10C209A)
1024 x 768 TFT
800 x 600 TFT (Toshiba LTM10C273)
Note 1: To program the VGA BIOS to support the LCD only,
you must use the file "6654-STN.DAT" located on the
utility disk.
Note 2: The Chips 65550 chipset cannot support a 1024 x
768 DSTN LCD on SM mode, due to bandwidth
problems.

1.6 Simultaneous Display Mode
The PCA-6654/6654L supports simultaneous display to a CRT
monitor and a flat panel display. The flat panel may be TFT, DSTN or
MONO.
If you use a DSTN LCD in this mode, the display must be under
16/256 colors or the CRT and flat panel screens will tremble. You
must add a frame buffer with 512 K RAM and update the BIOS setup.

2.2 Jumpers and Connectors
Setting jumpers
You can configure your PCA-6654/6654L to match the needs of your
application by setting jumpers. A jumper is the simplest kind of
electrical switch. It consists of two metal pins and a small metal clip
(often protected by a plastic cover) that slides over the pins to connect
them. To “close” a jumper, you connect the pins with the clip. To
“open” a jumper you remove the clip. Sometimes a jumper will have
three pins, labeled 1, 2, and 3. In this case, you would connect either
pins 1 and 2 or pins 2 and 3.
The jumper settings are schematically depicted in this manual as
follows:
A pair of needle-nose pliers may be helpful when working with
jumpers.
If you have any doubts about the best hardware configuration for your
application, contact your local distributor or sales representative
before you make any changes.
