Affinity 5250 Plug 'n Play Adapter

The Affinity Systems Plug 'n Play 5250 adapter ends configuration and upgrade headaches before they begin. This 100% IBM register-level adapter runs:

• Client Access/400
• PC Support/400 Personal Communications AS/400
• Enhanced 5250 Emulation
• Netsoft Midrange Client Services
• Rumba/400
• Any 5250 Emulation software capable of running on IBM's 5250 Adapter

Unlike other twinax adapters, the Affinity Systems from Perle Plug 'n Play 5250 Adapter does not have any switches or jumpers. The adapter automatically configures itself in a Plug and Play compliant PC (such as any PC running Windows 95) and dynamically adjusts itself as new adapters are added or deleted. If you are not currently running a Plug and Play machine, the adapter runs flawlessly as an IBM compatible adapter, configured exclusively with the included software. The days of configuring via jumpers and dip switches are over. Your adapter will grow with you and your system into the future. Approved by Microsoft to carry the Windows 95 logo, these adapters support multiple terminal and printer sessions on a single PC:

• 2 sessions with terminal emulation
• 5 sessions with PC Support/400
• Up to 32 sessions when using APPC applications such as Client Access/400
• The adapter's 16-bit layout allows for expanded memory address selection and expands your IRQ options; choose from interrupts 3 through 15.

  Included with each adapter:

• Self-terminating Y-cable
• Stepsaver diagnostic software verifies adapter integrity and facilitates problem identification
• Stepsaver automatic configuration software identifies available interrupts, I/O and memory addresses for fast, easy setup
• Lifetime warranty

Tested in today's fastest high-performance PCs, the Affinity Systems from Perle Plug 'n Play Adapter provides functionality never before available in a twinax adapter. IBM register-level compatibility eliminates software conflicts and ensures continuous, uninterrupted operation even as new PC or IBM host software is introduced.
