IKON ANNOUNCES 1/2-SIZE HARDCOPY INTERFACE FOR PCI BUS

IKON Corporation of Seattle, Washington, is pleased to announce the latest
addition to its family of Hardcopy Interfaces for PCs and engineering
workstations: the Model 10117 for the PCI Bus. This board, like those for
Multibus I, VMEbus, ISA, EISA, MicroChannel and SBus, features
connectivity for any Versatec (XES) or Centronics compatible plotter or
printer. The 10117 also supports IEEE P1284-compatible devices (ECP mode).


The 10117 is a 1/2-size form factor conforming to the PCI Bus
specification, which allows its use in machines which do not have full
size PCI slots available. It has 16K bytes of on-board FIFO and supports
slave bursts to the FIFO at a short term burst rate of 132M bytes/second.
The long term burst rate is 30-40M bytes/second. The board uses PCI
interrupt A and will support DMA chaining. 

On the device side, the 10117 has a transfer rate of approximately 2M
bytes/second allowing high performance plotters and printers to be run at
their full rated speed, an important feature for electrostatic machines.
Devices from many manufacturers may be used with the 10117, including:
XES, Iris Graphics, CalComp, Imagen, Tektronix, Veritas Seismic, Atlantek,
Oyo and others. 

Outgoing data and control lines are driven by high-drive bipolar devices.
Cable receivers are true Schmitt triggers with R/C integration for maximum
noise rejection. The Centronics connector terminations are socketed,
allowing "tuning" of the port for maximum performance. ECP-compatible
devices are also supported by high-speed transfers and reverse channel
transfers. 

Single piece pricing for the 10117 is $575, with 100-piece pricing at $520.
The boards carry a full one-year warranty and come with a
Hardware/Software Manual. Boards are available now; evaluation units are
available. Both Versatec and Centronics cables are also available from
shelf stock. All prices are FOB, Seattle, WA, USA.
