The Caretaker™ Plus Advantage . . .
The Caretaker Plus makes it possible for you to connect
up to eight computers or terminals to a common printer,
plotter, or other serial or parallel device.
Designed with your needs in mind, the Caretaker Plus
uses commonly available cables, is compatible with all
computers, printers, and plotters, and has up to 2MB of
buffered memory. The buffered memory allows multiple
computers to simultaneously send data to the unit for
fast, efficient printer sharing.
Serial models support BAUD rates up to 19,200 BAUD
(RS422 optional)
Parallel models support standard Centronics parallel
(DB25 parallel optional)
Accessing the shared device is simply done by sending
data to the unit. The data is sent to the device in the
order it was received. There is no easier way to share a
common peripheral than with the Caretaker Plus.
Easy installation, easy expansion, and easy
maintenance…everything you’ve come to expect in
Rose Electronics products. Call us today to discuss your
printer or device sharing application.
