Introduction
MIport PCI serial interface cards allow you to add RS-232, RS-422 and RS-
485 interfaces to Windows based computers equipped with a PCI bus.
Depending on your choice of card one, two or four optically isolated serial
ports, or two, four or eight non-isolated serial ports, can be added. MIport
PCI serial cards are Plug and Play compatible, which allows the Windows
Operating System and driver to set the addresses and IRQ used by the card.
