AST RESEARCH TECHNICAL BULLETIN TB-0268                 02/27/87


            DIAGRAM ERRORS IN THE I/O MINI II MANUAL


The diagram on pages 2-3 and 4-5 of the I/O Mini II manual (Part
Number  000380-001A) contains errors in the jumper block
configuration illustrations.

On page 2-3, the numbering on the "E1-E3" and the "E4-E6" jumper
blocks is reversed from how it should be.

     The drawing is labeled:            It should be labeled:


          3  2  1                             1  2  3
         ????????                            ????????
      E1 ?   ????CTS                       E1????   ?CTS
         ?      ?                            ?      ?
      E2 ?   ????DCD                       E2????   ?DCD
         ?      ?                            ?      ?
      E3 ?   ????DSR                       E3????   ?DSR
         ????????                            ????????


The numbering on the "E7" jumper block is also reversed.


     It's labeled as:                   It should be labeled:


           3  2  1                             1  2  3
          ????????                            ????????
        E7?   ????                          E7????   ?
          ????????                            ????????

The illustration on page 4-5 (figure 4-2) is drawn incorrectly.


The jumper blocks are displayed in the manual as shown below:


          3  2  1                             3  2  1

      E1 ?   ????CTS                       E4?   ????CTS
         ?      ?                            ?      ?
      E2 ?   ????DCD                       E5?   ????DCD
         ?      ?                            ?      ?
