JCOM8 Serial Board

[David Beckemeyer]

I'm posting this for Jaws2 Microsystems, Inc.

There's a new Intelligent Serial I/O card on the block.   The JCOM8
is an 80186 based serial card with up to 128K dual ported RAM.  It
fits in one 16-bit AT slot and has 8 ports.  Up to four boards
may be used together for a total of 32 ports.

That's a full 16-bit 80186 for each 8 ports for high performance
and low host CPU overhead.  The board lists for $895 for the 8 port
version and $795 for the 4 port version (expandable to 8 ports).

I wrote the Unix/Xenix drivers for this card, but I'm not getting
royalties on the sales.  I can however get the boards at a greatly
reduced price.   I'm sure I can get the board for anyone interested
for less than the cost of a "dumb" card.   This is one way to solve
the double-panic problem on System V/AT and get some spare ports
in the deal too.

There are drivers for Microport 286/386, Interactive, and SCO Xenix.

Send e-mail to the adress below if you're interested in more info.
