PREFACE

This manual is a guide to the proper configuration, installation,
and operation of your 5554/5558 Quad/Octal Serial Card.  The
5554/5558 expansion card is part of the Octagon Micro PC system.
It is designed to be used with any other Micro PC Control Cards.
You can use your 5554/5558 card in conjunction with other Micro
PC expansion cards, tailoring your system for a wide variety of
applications.  The 5554/5558 card can also be used in an IBM-
compatible PC.  Micro PC cards are too tall to fit in an XT, but will
fit in AT industrial size and other AT-size cases.  All Micro PC
products are modular, so creating a system is as easy as selecting
and plugging in the products you need.
