| The FASTCOM: 422/1-ISA adapter is
one of the fastest and most advanced single-port RS422 asynchronous
adapters in the industry, up to 1.5 Mbps¹.
Primarily designed for commercial, industrial, and OEM applications,
the FASTCOM: 422/1-ISA features a discrete RS422 channel,
complete with RTS and CTS flow control signals. The FASTCOM:
422/1-ISA is optionally available in a dual-port configuration,
the FASTCOM: 422/2-ISA.
The advanced 16C850 UART on the FASTCOM:
422/1-ISA features full compatibility with standard 16C550
and 16C650 UARTs, but also provides extraordinary 128-byte
receive and transmit FIFOs for buffering. This buffering is
extremely important when working with RS422 / RS485 communications
within high-overhead operating systems such as Windows NT
and 2000. The extra-deep FIFOs prevent data loss due to overrun
and dramatically improve data throughput in all applications.
The advanced UART on the FASTCOM: 422/1-ISA is capable of
all standard baud rates, plus a high-speed mode capable of
up to an amazing 1.5 Mbps¹.
The FASTCOM: 422/1-ISA is designed
with a compatible mode for operation in Windows 98/2000/NT/XP,
and Linux Kernel 2.4.x. The user selectable address and IRQ setting switches
allow for "driverless" operation in most operating
systems, i.e. uses the system serial port driver for operation.
The "shared interrupt" design and user selectable
address also allow the installation of multiple FASTCOM: 422/1-ISA
cards in the same system.
