We are considering using IBM's ARTIC card, which is a realtime interface co-processor providing multiple RS-232/RS-422 ports, in a warehousing application. This application will require simultaneous serial I/O between an IBM 4341 mainframe, Barcode Scanners, printers, etc. The ARTIC card will reside in an IBM 7552 industrial computer, IBM-AT or Zenith Z-248, (IBM-AT compatible) if possible. Trouble is, IBM isn't at all sure if the card will work in any other machine other than an true-blue IBM :-(. If anyone out there has had some experience with this card (regardless of the machine it is installed in) I would appreciate any useful info, pro or con. Especially if it is functional in a Zenith Z-248 MicroComputer. This is my first posting to the Net, so if I did it all wrong please don't burn me too bad with your flame throwers :-) Thanks in advance.
