Board 033 - Madge Smart 16/4 ISA Client PnP Ringnode [TokenRing ISA]

Madge Smart 16/4 ISA Client PnP Ringnode

Description: 

• Once PC architecture had evolved to include a Plug and Play BIOS, and the idea of solely software configurable adapters had become acceptable, naturally PnP ringnodes were the next direction for Madge. The ISA Client was produced in a PnP version - the Smart 16.4 ISA Client PnP. This is still aimed at the client workstation and can be installed in both PnP or non-PnP systems. In non-PnP systems it is still software configurable using TRCFGC.EXE, Wizard, or Assist, but in PnP systems we have a choice. It can be configured by the plug and play mechanism (BIOS or OS) or can be set to non-PnP and configured manually.
• It is still limited to 128KB of RAM and 16 or 32-bit PIO data transfer, but because the plug and play specification calls for a wide range for each configurable parameter, it now has the choice of 12 I/O port addresses and 8 IRQs
