Antaira MSC-108A 8-Port RS-232 Universal PCI Card

Antaira Technologies MSC-108A is a PCI-based serial expansion card. Providing parallel expansion by adding additional serial RS-232 ports to a network computer. This multiport serial card uses ultra-high performance 16C950 UARTS over the PCI slot. The 16C950 UART within the MSC-108A serial card is the fastest available, PC-compatible chip set on the market. Transfer data rates of up to 15Mbps and 128-byte deep transmitter and receiver FIFOs. Deep FIFOs reduce the multi-port serial cards CPU overhead, allowing high data rates. Each UART channel is software compatible with the widely used UART 16C550 that is present in most serial cards. The MSC-108A is the perfect PCI serial card upgrade to support all UART-compatible devices on a changing desktop computer that requires RS232 communication. The MSC-108A multi port serial card will have two individual serial db9 connectors.
