IKON ANNOUNCES HIGH PERFORMANCE HARDCOPY SUPPORT FOR ISA/EISA

August 28, 1992 -- Ikon Corp of Seattle, WA announces introduction of its
Model 10111 Hardcopy++ for ISA/EISA applications.

While this product maintains the ISA (PC/ATbus) form factor, and software
compatibility with the earlier Models 10092 and 10097, the 10111 includes
on-board FIFO and incorporates the enhanced DMA modes of the EISA bus such
as DMA Mode B, tri-state capable DMA and interrupt logic (allowing
channel/level sharing), and level mode interrupts. The 10111 can use
either 8 or 16-bit DMA channels, and acommodate odd byte count transfers
when using a 16-bit DMA channel. The board runs in DMA demand mode with
eight transfers per bus request. Bus-to-FIFO transfer rates are 4M
byte/second for EISA applications and 1.5M byte/second for ISA
applications. FIFP-to-plotter transfer rate is 1.5M byte/second maximum.
Byte swapping may be selected for word DMA transfers.

The 10111 allows connection of any Versatec "Green Sheet" (VPI) compatible
plotter or printer with either TTL or differential (Long-Lines) interface,
as well as any Centronics-compatible device. Various special Centronics
variations are also provided via socketed input terminators (with spare
networks mounted on the board) to allow the matching of device
manufacturers' preferred terminations. Special handshaking and timing
options are on-board for use with some higher performance Centronics
devices, such as Tektronix "data streaming" mode for their color copiers.

PROM-resident test patterns, which can be custom tailored for various
plotters/systems, can be accessed via a pair of board-mounted toggle
switches and used to exercise the attached device without CPU or software
intervention. A software driver for the 10111 for use with the
Hewlett-Packard 700-Series workstations is available for the board at no
charge. A Hardware/Softwrae Manual is also provided with each unit. The
boards carry a full one-year warranty.

Units are available from shelf stock. Single-piece pricing is $575, with
OEM discounts available. Ikon will provide units on a no-charge basis for
evaluation.
