**Spelling errors/mistyped words
Yes, I know there are spelling errors, and things are mistyped. It
seems no matter how hard I try my fingers hit 't' twice when typing
'compatible' rendering it 'compattible' numerous, (thousands actually)
times. I don't have the time or the will to check the spelling of
everything. Basic spell checking has been peformed. Please let me know
if there is anything that would lead to incorrect information, or
something is so mangled that it needs revising. But if you can
basically understand what was intended, just cope with it. Just
cope:-)
BTW, "110" port is an "I/O" port that has been OCRed badly, as is an
"1/0" port.

***Info:
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
This data sheet covers two products: W83977F/G, and W83977AF/AG whose
pin assignment, and most of the functions are the same. W83977AF/AG is
an advanced version of W83977F/G featuring the FIR function.
W83977F/G, W83977AF/AG are evolving products from Winbond’s most
popular I/O chip W83877F -- which integrates the disk drive adapter,
serial port (UART), IrDA 1.0 SIR, parallel port, configurable
plug-and-play registers in one chip --- plus additional powerful
features: ACPI, 8042 keyboard controller with PS/2 mouse support, Real
Time Clock, 14 general purpose I/O ports, full 16-bit address
decoding, TV remote IR (Consumer IR, supporting NEC, RC-5, extended
RC-5, and RECS-80 protocols). In addition, W83977AF/AG provides the
functions of IrDA 1.1 (MIR for 1.152M bps or FIR for 4M bps).
The disk drive adapter functions of W83977F/G, W83977AF/AG include a
floppy disk drive controller compatible with the industry standard
82077/ 765, data separator, write pre-compensation circuit, decode
logic, data rate selection, clock generator, drive interface control
logic, and interrupt/ DMA logic. The wide range of functions
integrated onto the W83977F/G, W83977AF/AG greatly reduces the number
of components required for interfacing with floppy disk drives. The
W83977F/G, W83977AF/AG supports up to four 360K, 720K, 1.2M, 1.44M, or
2.88M disk drives and data transfer rates of 250 Kb/s, 300 Kb/s, 500
Kb/s,1 Mb/s, and 2 Mb/s.
The W83977F/G, W83977AF/AG provide two high-speed serial communication
ports (UARTs), one of which supports serial Infrared communication.
Each UART includes a 16-byte send/receive FIFO, a programmable baud
rate generator, complete modem control capability, and a processor
interrupt system. Both UARTs provide legacy speed with baud rate
115.2k and provide advanced speed with baud rate 230k, 460k, and 921k
bps which support higher speed modems. W83977AF/AG alone provides
independent 3rd UART (32-byte FIFO) dedicated for IR function.
The W83977F/G, W83977AF/AG supports one PC-compatible printer port
(SPP), Bi-directional Printer port (BPP) and also Enhanced Parallel
Port (EPP) and Extended Capabilities Port (ECP). Through the printer
port interface pins, also available are: Extension FDD Mode and
Extension 2FDD Mode allowing one or two external floppy disk drives to
be connected.
The configuration registers support mode selection, function
enable/disable, and power down function selection. Furthermore, the
configurable PnP features are compatible with the plug-and-play
feature demand of Windows 95TM, which makes system resource allocation
more efficient than ever.
W83977F/G, W83977AF/AG provides functions that comply with ACPI
(Advanced Configuration and Power Interface), which includes support
of legacy and ACPI power management through SMI or SCI function
pins. W83977F/G, W83977AF/AG also has auto power management to reduce
power consumption.
The keyboard controller is based on 8042 compatible instruction set
with a 2K Byte programmable ROM and a 256-Byte RAM bank. Keyboard BIOS
firmware is available with optional AMIKEY-2, Phoenix MultiKey/42, or
customer code.
The W83977F/G, W83977AF/AG provides a set of flexible I/O control
functions to the system designer through a set of General Purpose I/O
ports. These GPIO ports may serve as simple I/O or may be individually
configured to provide a pre-defined alternate function.
W83977F/G, W83977AF/AG is made to fully comply with Microsoft PC97
Hardware Design Guide. IRQs, DMAs, and I/O space resource are flexible
to adjust to meet ISA PnP requirement. Full 16-bit address decoding is
also provided. Moreover W83977F/G, W83977AF/AG is made to meet the
specification of PC97‘s requirement in the power management: ACPI and
DPM (Device Power Management).
