Product Overview

The RocketPort ISA series multiport serial card fits into

the ISA or EISA slot of a personal computer, and uses a 36

MHz processor that is specifically designed to process

asynchronous serial communications.

The RocketPort ISA series uses Application Specific

Integrated Circuits (ASICs) technology to replace most

hardware components, including:

•Theprocessor

• Serial controller

• Bus interface logic and other miscellaneous logic

To eliminate memory mapping conflicts, the RocketPort

ISAseriesisI/Omapped.

This Hardware Installation document discusses the

following RocketPort ISA-bus serial controllers:

* Some 4-port models have the capability to be 8-port

cards with an 8-port interface. Some drivers view the

4-port as an 8-port card.

** For interface information, see the RocketPort Interface

Overview discussion.

You can install up to four RocketPort ISA cards in one PC,

for a total of 128 additional serial ports, and you can install

a combination of PCI-bus and ISA-bus RocketPort cards.
