GENERAL INFORMATION
Introduction
The B&B Electronics 232PCI1A, 232PCI1B, 232PCI2A and
232PCI2B serial interface cards are designed for IBM compatibles
with a PCI Bus. The PCI design is Plug and Play compatible which
allows the driver and Operating System to select the IRQ and
addresses used by the card.
If you are writing your own applications, be sure the communications
routine used supports Windows communication drivers and a wide
range of COM ports.
Description
The 232PCI1x is a one port card and the 232PCI2x is a two port
card. All versions offer high speed RS-232 communications with the
4X clock option enabled. Buffered, high speed UARTs (16550A or
16850) make it ideal for high speed (modem) and multitasking
applications.
