connectivity

Overview |
The PCI bus is supplied with all new PCs, and provides
integrated "plug-and-play" installation. Native Plus PCI Twinax
adapters permit PCs and PC printers to interface directly with midrange
systems, enabling them to perform as enhanced IBM midrange terminals and
printers. Based on a unique ASIC implementation, Native Plus PCI provides
functionality not previously available in any Twinax adapter. The advanced
hardware design of BOS's Twinax adapters permits simple installation,
operation without memory segment or IRQ configuration, and fast operation,
eliminating most of the problems usually associated with Twinax adapters
and improving workstation performance. Native Plus PCI comes bundled with
the high performance Native Plus software, and supports DOS and Windows
3.x/9x/Me/NT/2000/XP APPC clients.

OEM Spec II interface, and sets the configuration parameters accordingly.
