- The PS/8 and PS/16 are MicroChannel versions of the AT8+ and AT16+ that
- transform the IBM PS/2 Models 50, 60, 70, and 80 into intelligent, multi-user
- systems running XENIX, UNIX, or AIX. The boards have been designed to take
- advantage of the features of the Micro Channel Architecture while extending the
- connectivity of the IBM PS/2 to up to 64 users with four boards. This allows
- the users to efficiently share data, applications, and peripherals
-
- The PS/8 and PS/16 use a dedicated 80186 processor to manage up to sixteen
- serial ports with a maximum of 3 to 5 percent response time degradation. A
- dual-ported shared memory interface controls data transfers to and from the
- central processor. The PS/8 and PS/16 support downloadable code which provides
- greater flexibility in the operating systems and devices supported.
