Blastronix 422 8s-pci Serial Video Controller Card

The Blastronix IT 422/8SVC-PCI RS-422 8-Serial Ports PCI Video Controller is a single-slot PCI-X expansion card that provides eight RS-422 serial channels through a PCI interface. Each port supports RS-422 signaling and is backed by transmit and receive FIFOs to help prevent data loss during high-throughput serial transfers. The controller supports baud rates up to 115.2 kbps, enabling reliable data transmission on multi-drop or long-distance serial links when paired with appropriate cabling and line drivers. Marketed as a Serial Video Controller, this Blastronix card consolidates eight independent serial interfaces into one compact PCI solution, ideal for applications requiring multi-channel serial I/O in a PC. The device is designed for use in standard PCI-X slots, offering a scalable way to add robust multi-port serial connectivity without external adapters.
