Merlin Hardware Interface
The modem is electronically configured as a 5-Volt 8-bit I/O memory card. The supported
pins on the 68 position interface connector are driven by a LVTTL interface IC that
includes 5V tolerant inputs and runs off a 3.1V power supply. Signals driven by this card
will reach 3.1V but can accept 5V logic levels on inputs.
