The OMG-COMM232-EX is a PC 
bus plug-in card based on the 
16550 FIFO buffered UART, which 
is compatible with the standard
8250. This dual channel 
asynchronous serial communication 
card utilizes the RS-232 
specification to provide RS-232 
communication capabilities to your 
application. Selectable and sharable 
extended “AT” interrupts increase 
the OMG-COMM232-EX versatility. 
Signals are transmitted and
received via two 9-pin 
sub-D male connectors. 
Bit character lengths of 
5, 6, 7 or 8, and odd, even 
or no parity are all available.
WIN 95/98/Me/NT/2000/XP drivers 
are included as well as support for 
Linux, QNX and DOS. The drivers 
provide IRQ sharing, advanced 
UART support and serial 
diagnostic utilities.
