More Information

The Echo/ISA is an 8 port serial card designed for those needing continued support for ISA bus based systems. Multiple Echo boards can reside in a system to accommodate large multi-channel I/O requirements. This flexible solution enables independent configuration of each port’s baud rate, parity, data and stop bits, and supports the most popular operating systems.
