DESCRIPTION
Add a high-speed RS-232 port to your mobile computer with the
Socket Serial I/O Card. Connect to the world of serial devices
such as fax/modems, digital cameras, bar code scanners,
monitoring and control systems, writers for court reporting, data
collection gear, lab equipment, GPS or DGPS receivers, wireless
receivers and transceivers, label printers -- you name it!
The Serial I/O's 16550 UART gives your serial peripherals optimum performance under Microsoft Windows CE. Built-in buffers support a continuous data stream from high speed peripherals such as digital cameras, 33.6 modems and ISDN modems.
Socket's High-Integration Serial (HIS) chip reduces chip count to improve reliability and reduce power consumption. The Serial I/O Card uses only 5 mA in standby mode compared to over 50 mA for other serial PC Cards. That extends the battery life of your mobile computer in situations where it's impractical to use an AC power adapter.
The Serial I/O Card works with Windows notebooks and H/PCs, Apple PowerBooks and Newton MessagePads, the Sharp Zaurus and the Sun Voyager.
The Serial I/O Card is the first PC Card serial adapter to be certified by Microsoft for Windows 95 and Windows CE. It works out of the box with all current versions of Microsoft Windows, including Windows 3.1, Windows for Workgroups, Windows CE and Windows NT.
