AMS Announces Advanced High-Performance Parallel Port Adapters
with 2MB/sec Parallel Port and 115.2Kbps Serial Port


Pompano Beach, Florida --- Advanced Microcomputer Systems, Inc.(AMS) today
announced that it has begun shipping its latest entry to the IBM PC XT/AT and
compatible parallel port adapter market.  The Enhanced Parallel Port(EPP)
family of products is available in four versions and joins a distinguished
family of AMS adapter board products.

The EPP provides a maximum of two high speed serial interface ports and one
enhanced parallel interface port.  The Enhanced-Mode adapters are compatible
with the new generation of the IEEE 1284 EPP/ECP specifications.

The EPP adapters have high-speed serial ports using 16C550 buffered UART
technology�, according to Raj Shah, AMS President.  �Using 115.2 Kbps serial
communications and a 16 byte FIFO plus the IEEE 1284 compliance assures data
integrity when the EPP adapter is connected to peripherals�, he says.  The
boards are ideal for use in high performance peripheral connectivity
applications including printers, tape backup systems, CD-ROM players, parallel
to SCSI adapters, removable hard disk drives, external fax modems.

The EPP adapters are completely hardware and software compatible with the
Standard PC Parallel Port(SPP).  The Enhanced Parallel Port delivers up to 2 MB
per second data throughput and is designed to support high performance laser
printers at their rated page-per-minute rate when downloading fonts or printing
complex graphics files.  DOS and Windows drivers are standard.

One of the most important features of this new adapter series is its
flexibility�, said Raj.  The boards support several interrupts for the serial
ports as well as the parallel port�.  Thge boards support IRQ 2-7, 10-12, 14
and 15 for both parallel and serial ports.  The board address and interrupt
levels are jumper selectable.

The EPP, and all of the AMS adapter products, are supplied with a comprehensive
installation and operational manual and come with a 1 year warranty.

EPP is compatible with all IBM and compatible 286, 386, 486 and Pentium
equipped computers.  Available now, the adapters suggested retail single
quantity price ranges $45 and upwards based on selected configuration.
