- OUTPUTS:- Data, one handshake - +5 volt positive going Works with all TTL level inputs and most RS232 devices.
- All interface features are software addressable, uses 8251 UART.
- Supplied with full RSX drivers, which may be used in your own programs.
- Not directly compatible with Amstrad CPM.
- Extensive documentation about interface and RSX's supplied on cassette.
