1. Introduction to the XC range
Where absolute compatibility with classic desktop LPT parallel printer ports is a necessity, our XC
range really does excel. With guaranteed low latency, memory mapped, no compromise high
performance interface, there is no better option. Drivers for available for Windows 32 bit and 64 bit
Operating Systems including Windows XP, Server 2003, Vista, Server 2008, Windows 7 and Windows
8.
Unlike the VX range which uses USB technology over ExpressCard; this uses PCI Express technology
over ExpressCard. All Brainboxes XC cards are PCI Express Base Specification 1.1 Compliant.
ExpressCards are the new connect standard for laptops and can be found in most laptops supplied
since 2006/07. ExpressCard slots come in 34mm and 54mm widths, all of Brainboxes ExpressCards
will fit in either slot. Use our ExpressCard spacer in 54mm slots when you require added physical
security.
The cards are hot swappable and can be added or removed without having to turn your PC on or off.
The ExpressCard standard define two form factors, the 34mm wide ExpressCard/34 and the 54mm
wide ExpressCard/54.
Whilst the 34mm slot accepts only 34mm cards the 54mm slot accepts both 34mm and 54mm cards.
Brainboxes ExpressCard range being 34mm wide will fit into any ExpressCard slot on your laptop
computer. For a more secure connection into a 54mm slot a Brainboxes VX-056 ExpressCard
spacer
can be purchased in conjunction with the card.
