Comtrol's (St. Paul, MN) RocketPort family of controller boards (from $259) replaces major hardware components, such as the processor, serial ports, and bus-interface logic, with two specially designed ASICs. One ASIC includes a 36-MHz processor in place of the conventional multiport board processor. The board is designed to maintain consistent speeds of 230.4 Kbps or 115.2 Kbps at each port. RocketPort supports operating systems such as DOS, Windows, Unix, SCO Xenix, and QNX and is available with four, eight, 16, or 32 ports.
