<para>The Specialix SI/XIO and SX multiport cards use the si driver. A single
|
||||
machine can have up to 4 host cards. The following host cards are supported:
|
||||
<itemizedlist>
|

<listitem><para>ISA SI/XIO host card (2 versions)</para></listitem>

|
||||
|
||||
<para>Although the SX and SI/XIO host cards look markedly different, their
|
||||
functionality are basically the same. The host cards do not use I/O
|
||||
locations, but instead require a 32K chunk of memory. The factory
|
||||
configuration for ISA cards places this at 0xd0000-0xd7fff. They
|
||||
also require an IRQ. PCI cards will, of course, autoconfigure themselves.</para>
|
||||
|
||||
<para>You can attach up to 4 external modules to each host card. The external
|
||||
modules contain either 4 or 8 serial ports. They come in the following
|
||||
varieties:
|
||||
<itemizedlist>
|
||||
<listitem><para>SI 4 or 8 port modules. Up to 57600 bps on each port supported.</para></listitem>
|

<listitem><para>XIO 8 port modules. Up to 115200 bps on each port supported. One
|
||||
type of XIO module has 7 serial and 1 parallel port.</para></listitem>
|

<listitem><para>SXDC 8 port modules. Up to 921600 bps on each port supported. Like
|

XIO, a module is available with one parallel port as well.</para></listitem>
