Introduction

The TAMS 60488 HP-IB Interface is intended to add IEEE-488
capabilities to any computer with a PCI bus.

The TAMS card takes full advantage of the PCI bus performance and
delivers the highest possible level of throughput.

The TAMS 60488 Interface supports both the 3.3v and 5v PCI
specifications as a universal card.

Thanks to HP’s software architecture and the design of the TAMS driver,
once the driver is loaded (which is done once at installation) the TAMS
card can be used in any application without requiring more computer
overhead or any changes to code developed for HP’s HP-IB cards.

Whether you are using HP-VEE, BASIC for Windows, or programming in
C with the SICL library, your code will now run at full performance
without modification.
