- The MCSS-9IM (Intelligent Multi-Channel Serial Card-Megabyte) is the most
- powerful PC-compatible serial care that GTEK has offered to date. It has nine
- separate RS-232 channels for input and output per card. All queuing of data,
- status and UART interrupts is handled by the coprocessor, thereby placing no
- processing load on your computer. True concurrent processing dramatically
- increases computer ``throughput.'' A device driver is included which provides
- DOS compatibility through BIOS Int 14H and expands Int 14H the handle up to 130
- channels. The enhanced BIOS INT14H device driver allows easy application
- program interface and is supplied with an interface to high level compiled
- languages such as Basic, Pascal, ADA, C, and FORTRAN. Examples with source code
- provide programming models to demonstrate ease of use with the INT14H driver.
- Utilities are provided which allow mapping intelligent channels to standard
- COM1: though COM4 channels and to initialize all of the intelligent channels at
- boot time. compatibility is so complete that you can even use the DOS MODE
- command to set up channels. Each card occupies only four I/O addresses. This
- address may be changed using the programmable option select feature to allow
- multiple MCSS-9IMs. You can access the card directly or for DOS compatibility,
- though BIOS Int 14H. Whichever way you go, 8 channels are always interrupt
- driven on transmit and receive with automatic Xon/Xoff handshaking. CTS/DTR
- handshaking is available on 6 channels. You can use as many MCSS-9IMs as you
- have slots for in your computer. The hardware interface to the MCSS-9IM is done
- with standard 6-conductor RJ-11 telephone type plugs. This frees up the back
- part of your computer and allows all 9 channels to come out one slot on the
- back of the computer. Cables, plug and DB25 connectors are available from GTEK
- also. Signals supported are TXF, RXD, CTS, CD and GND.
