SeaMAC Family of Sync/Async Drivers

Product Description

SeaMAC is a family of serial communication software drivers that provides fully buffered input and output to synchronous and asynchronous serial communication ports. SeaMAC supports the Advanced Communication Board (ACB) family of communication cards. The ACB family offers a sync/async communication port in most popular electrical interfaces including RS-232, RS-422, RS-485, V.35, and MIL-188. SeaMAC was designed to operate on an IBM compatible computer. These drivers utilize interrupts and Direct Memory Access (DMA) to obtain the highest level of performance.

Distribution Information

The SeaMAC DOS driver is distributed in the ACB Developer's Toolkit Disk included with each Sealevel Systems' 85x30 ESCC board purchased. The SeaMAC family of drivers for Windows 3.1x/95 and Windows NT is available for download. Click to download the Family of SeaMAC Drivers for Windows All drivers have unlimited usage rights provided a Sealevel Systems' hardware product is used with the driver.

ComSync

Async Dos Com: Driver for Remote File Transfer over Digital Lines

Features:

  • Supports external clocking providing compatibility with virtually all digital line connections
  • Ideal for integrating CSU / DSU interface or ISDN equipment with existing applications or any other protocols that use BIOS INT 14h calls
  • Supports interrupt requests (IRQs) 2-15
  • Supports the Advanced Communication Board (ACB) family of synchronous communication products
  • Supports asynchronous or clocked asynchronous operation
  • Off-the-shelf solution - No programming required

Applications:

  • CSU / DSU and ISDN equipment integration
  • High speed file transfer over digital lines
  • Any other protocols that use BIOS INT 14h calls
  • Asynchronous or clocked asynchronous applications

Product Description:

ComSync™ is an INT 14h replacement serial communications software driver that provides fully buffered input and output to synchronous serial communication ports. ComSync™ allows high speed PC file transfers between two ACB cards over digital lines using Procomm™, Crosstalk™, or other software supporting BIOS INT 14h calls. This driver provides the programmer with a robust and reliable means for servicing synchronous serial ports while maintaining a straightforward and consistent software interface. ComSync™ supports the Sealevel Advanced Communication Board (ACB) family of synchronous communication cards.

Distribution Information:

The ComSync™ driver is distributed on the ACB Developer's Toolkit Diskette included with each Sealevel Systems’ SCC-based Advanced Communication Board. The ComSync™ driver has unlimited usage rights provided a Sealevel Systems’ hardware product is used with the driver.

An optional enhanced documentation set includes a comprehensive user manual to aid in development.

System Requirements:

ComSync™ was designed to operate on an IBM PC or compatible computer. One Sealevel Advanced Communication Board (ACB) based on a Zilog 8350 or 85230 is required. ComSync™ requires approximately 4 kilobytes of free conventional memory. If ComSync™ is loaded more than once, an additional 4 kilobytes is required for each resident copy. ComSync™ may be used with memory managers. ComSync™ requires MS-DOS or PC-DOS version 3.00 or higher.
