serial printers and any other serial devices through RS-232/RS-422/RS-485
interfaces.
One

/PCI may be used in the same system. See Section “Features” and
Chapter “Hardware installation” for details.
PCI Solution
The board complies with PCI Spec. 2.1 and has neither switch nor jumper.
Hardware configuration for IRQ and Memory addresses is automatically assigned by
PCI BIOS. Hence, it is a must to have the board plugged first before installing
software driver. For more PCI information, see Appendix “Technical Reference”.
Low Host Processor Overhead
The

/PCI is equipped with a high performance processor
(TMS320) and 512KB on-board memory to relieve the host’s CPU workload of all
data and I/O handling tasks. A buffer holds transmitted and received data to prevent
data loss.
