Product Description
838-IO Plus
This unit replaces the original Texas Instruments Flex Cable Interface card.
Store photo shown with optional 838-32K-SC Memory Expansion Card (32K)
This replacement removes the firehose type cable and elephant foot connector that plugs into the 99/4A console side port with a vertical standing interface utilizing a DB37 twisted paired cable that plugs in from the back to reduce desk real estate.
Allows for expansion within the side port connector with an optional 32k expansion card to free up an extra slot on the PEB. Additional expansion cards are currently in design mode.
