PCI Card 2* RS232 ports MSC-102A
MSC-102A
Universal PCI card with 2* RS232 ports MSC-102A
The Antaira Technologies MSC-102A is a PCI-based serial expansion card. It provides parallel expansion by adding additional RS-232 serial ports to a network computer. This multiport serial card uses two ultra-high-performance 16C550 UARTS over the PCI slot.
The 16C550 UART in the MSC-102A serial card is the most widely accepted PC-compatible chipset on the market. It supports data transfer rates of up to 115Kbps and 16-byte-deep transmitter and receiver FIFOs. Deep FIFOs reduce the CPU overhead of multiport serial cards, enabling high data rates.
For legacy applications, the PCI resources have been arranged so that the serial ports are located at standard I/O addresses in the DOS environment.
The MSC-102A is an ideal PCI serial card upgrade for supporting all UART-compatible devices on a desktop computer requiring RS232 communication. The MSC-102 multiport serial card has two individual serial db9 connectors.
- Two 16C550 UART serial ports
- 32-bit PCI, PIO mode with 133MB/S bandwidth
- PCI IRQ sharing eliminates IRQ conflicts
- Supports both 5V and 3.3V standard PCI slots
- Two DB9-Male connectors (or 2 internal headers)
Works with all types of I/O peripherals: modems, plotters, PDAs, printers, removable cartridge drives, CD-ROM/R/RW, SuperDisk LS-120, digital cameras and others
