The parallel interface has been speeded up dramatically compared to its predecessor Hypercom: It has also got 16 bytes of fifo memory that lower the CPU load by far. The ECP mode (extended capabilities port) improves communication speed with modern printers. The special thing about the board is it's great possibilities to be connected to the computer: At first sight, it looks like a Zorro board that is equipped with our standard expansion ports: A clockport for connection of a Silversurfer, and a 26-pin expansion port. In case the VarIO is not plugged into a Zorro slot, it becomes an expansion module for one of our Zorro-boards, or an A1200 clockport-module (special version) that is connected with a cable. This results in eight different ways of using the VarIO: Zorro-board as base model: 1 x ser, 1 x par Zorro-board with Silversurfer: 2 x ser, 1 x par VarIO on X-Surf Ethernet: 1 x ser, 1 x par VarIO on ISDN-Surfer: 1 x ser, 1 x par VarIO on Buddha (Flash): 1 x ser, 1 x par VarIO on Catweasel Z-II: 1 x ser, 1 x par VarIO on A1200 clockport: 1 x ser, 1 x par (also Z4 clockports!) VarIO on VarIO: 2 x ser, 2 x par All these ways of connecting can of course be combined in one system! Price: only 49,- EUR! surcharge for A1200 version: 10,- EUR | |
