- ACL MC16 16-Port Communications Board for the Micro Channel - Tekdata
-
- KEYWORDS: Multiport Adapters, 44
-
- Designed specially for Micro Channel applications, the ACL MC16 from Tekdata
- offers high-speed serial communications on all 16 channels and TransGuard surge
- suppression on all signals. The newest member of Tekdata's ACL family of
- intelligent multi-port serial boards, the ACL MC16 is the highest-performing
- product of its type for the Micro Channel, designed to support speeds greater
- than 38.4K baud simultaneously on all 16 channels; programmable to 115.2K baud.
- Used to connect serial devices to systems with Micro Channel Architecture (MCA)
- running under UNIX, Citrix MULTIUSER, OS/2 and DOS, the 16-port ACL MC16 is
- three times faster than the company's original intelligent board for the Micro
- Channel and it supports twice as many ports from a single slot. When equipped
- with multiple ACL MC16 boards, a typical MCA system easily supports up to 64
- active users. The on-board 16MHz microprocessor offloads the host CPU of many
- housekeeping and communication chores, freeing the host to process user
- applications. Besides a more powerful 16MHz on-board microprocessor, the ACL
- 16MC's speed and performance is further enhanced by a new generation of 20MHz
- RISC-based (Reduced Instruction Set Computing) communications chips,
- specifically designed to optimise serial communications including the buffering
- of data using on-chip FIFOs. The RISC-based chips also contain special
- character processing often required for UNIX-based applications. Offered with
- fully shielded cables.
