Serial2000 - 8-Channel Serial Port Controller for PC/104+

The Serial2000 features 8 serial Asynchronous communication ports on a single low power PC/104+ card providing unprecedented level of serial port integration, performance and flexibility. The Serial2000 PC/104+ Communications card provides a cost-effective solution for expanding the number of serial ports on a PC/104+ system. The Serial2000 utilises ultra high performance industry standard UARTs with enhanced features resulting in improved flow control and extremely high data rates. Each one of the 8 channels on the Serial2000 may be individually configured for RS232, RS422 or RS485 operation at asynchronous speeds in excess of 4Mbits/sec. The high bandwidth 32-bit PC/104+ bus (PCI) ensures that all 8 channels can be operated concurrently at their maximum speeds. Up to 4 Serial2000 cards can be hosted on a single PC/104+ computer to provide up to 32 high performance serial ports. The Serial2000 is provided with software drivers for the most popular Operating Systems including Windows2000/NT/CE/XP-E, Linux and RTOS such as VxWorks, QNX, etc.
