DUAL PORT RS-232 SERIAL INTERFACE
2.1 Overview
The Dual Port RS-232 Serial Interface provides your PC system with two RS-
232 asynchronous ports. Connect to any device that uses the RS-232 protocol,
such as modems, data-entry terminals, and plotters.
The Serial Interface also includes a serial utility diskette with Seacom, a DOS
interrupt and driver package. Seacom allows data to be buffered, eliminating
data loss in high-speed data transfers. It also allows more than 4 ports (256
max.) to be configured and utilized under DOS.
The README file on the serial utility diskette contains information about the
latest changes and revisions. To view this file, insert the diskette into drive A
or B and type A:TYPE READ.ME|MORE [ENTER] or B:TYPE
READ.ME|MORE [ENTER].
