Chapter 1: Introduction and General Information

The B&B Electronics’ 232CC series RS-232 serial interface cards are designed for the IBM PC, XT, AT and compatibles. Ports are configured as a standard DTE device, and connections are made on 9-pin D-style connectors.

The 232CC cards offer exceptional setup flexibility. The 232CC series has the ability to use any I/O address and any hardware interrupt. You can install as many serial ports as will physically fit in a machine. To use one of the “non-standard” addresses or interrupts, the serial software used must also offer that flexibility. If you are writing your own application, be sure the communications routines used support any address and IRQ. B&B Electronics’ SimpCom Communications Drivers support these features.
