Re: Help with Twinax in NT server

[Jerome Draper <jdraper@xxxxxxx>]

This is an old story now.  The IBM emulation cards or IBM clones (CLI, BOS,
Affinity, DCI, Perle, etc.) use the same design which was invented to run
under DOS in x286 computers.  The Synapse WinTwin adapter which is
compatible with any product using the NetSoft router (which is about
everyone) including Synapse's own WinAPPC (display, printer, and SQL based
file transfer) is the only card made exclusively for Windows (any version
including NT and 2000).

Their secret is the microprocessor based design and the 64K of RAM on board
that insulates the card from the OS and from the PC microprocessor speed.
This, along with the dual buss buffering system allow the card to function
perfectly in virtually any PC at any speed using any Windows OS.

Claimer:  I sell, support, recommend, and use Synapse products because they
work.
