Technically Speaking With more people using the Internet, new demands have been placed on computer serial ports. Many PC serial ports aren’t equipped to handle the level of buffering required for newer data rates. But advanced UARTs—such as the 16550, 16650, 16750, and 16850—go a long way toward satisfying the requirements. Each card has either a UART or an ESCC chip.
What’s included All models include the card itself and a CD-ROM containing software drivers and a user’s manual. Some cards also have special cables designed to connect a V.35 interface or multiple peripherals. These cables are listed below: IC102C-R2: ✦ (1) DB37 female to (4) 3-foot (0.9-m) cables with DB25 male connectors IC112C-R3: IC602C ✦ (1) DB78HD male to (8) 3-foot (0.
