Compact flash dual serial port card : CF332

Dual Port RS232 Serial Comms Compact Flash Card - CF332

The CF332 is a TypeI format Compact Flash (CF+) dual RS232 asynchronous serial port for your PDA, laptop (with an optional adapter), or desktop (using one of Elan's Desktop PCMCIA adapters).  The card automatically configures to become two COM ports by using the Elan supplied drivers that are optimized to work in the PocketPC environment. Drivers are also available for Windows XP/2K/98. The serial ports feature TX, RX, CTS and RTS signals on each port and share a common ground connection.

Due to the partial RS232 interface, this card may not be suitable for connection to equipment that requires the DSR, DCD, DTR and RI RS232 lines. Please consult us if you are unsure about a particular application.
