National Instruments PCI-GPIB parallel adapter

The National Instruments PCI-GPIB is a high-performance Plug and Play IEEE 488 interface for personal computers and workstations equipped with PCI expansion slots. You can use the PCI-GPIB in PCs running Windows 2000/NT/Me/9x, Power Macintosh computers, Sun Ultra Workstations, and DEC Alpha Workstations. The National Instruments PCI-MITE and TNT4882C ASICs make the PCI-GPIB a maximum-performance IEEE 488.2 interface for the PCI bus. The PCI-MITE ASIC, a complete PCI interface, is compliant with PCI Specification 2.2. The hardware is completely software-configurable and compatible with the Plug and Play standard for easy hardware installation. The TNT4882C chip performs the basic IEEE 488 Talker, Listener, and Controller functions required by all versions of IEEE 488, including IEEE 488.2. The PCI-GPIB can sustain data transfer rates over 1.5 Mbytes/s using the IEEE 488.1 3-wire handshake. The PCI-GPIB also implements the high-speed HS488 GPIB protocol for benchmarked data transfers more than 7.7 Mbytes/s.
