27: IO-DATA USL-5P</a>, using a

29: SH-4 CPU.<br>
30: This rather small unit (25cm x 10cm x 2cm) is sold only in Japan.
31: This platform comes in a variety of models:

35: <li>IO-DATA HDL-U series (Japan)

1.2 jsg 37: <li>IO-DATA UHDL-160U and UHDL-300U (May be found in USA)

65: <p>
66: OpenBSD/landisk is the 1st OpenBSD port to a
67: <a href="http://www.renesas.com">Hitachi/Renesas</a> SH-4 based machine.
68: It is hoped that other SH-4 based machines will show up which are
69: interesting enough for our user and development community, but the SH-4
70: processor is normally used only in true embedded products.

108: <strong>Serial cable connection</a></strong>
109: </font></h3>
110: All of these machines require a special serial cable which does
111: voltage conversion, and can hopefully be purchased along with the
112: card. This cable normally contains a little max232 or similar chip
1.5 ! deraadt 113: which converts from the 3.3V signals to +/-12V. The IO-DATA cable
! 114: has pins which can grip the inside of the holes. Or you can attempt
1.4 deraadt 115: to build your own using
116: <a href="http://www.mizore.jp/wiki/index.php?LANDISK%2Fserial-console">
117: some Japanese instructions</a>.
118: <p>
119: The cable converts from a DB9 connector to a 5-pin header (3.3V Rx Tx GND NC).
1.5 ! deraadt 120: All the board models have a 5-pin connector (called CN7) which the cable can
! 121: plug into -- except for the USL-5P which has a 4-pin header (thus requiring
! 122: removal of the spare pin) and more significantly requires that the Rx and Tx
! 123: pins be swapped.
1.4 deraadt 124: <p>
1.5 ! deraadt 125: A USL-5P is shown with a modified IO-DATA cable. In this case the cable
! 126: has been shortened significantly and the DB9 connector is glued into a slot
! 127: carefully cut into the plastic between the ethernet and a USB port.
