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.
