Introduction
BUF-PCI(PC), BUF-PCI(98) 1
1. Introduction
About the BUF-PCI(PC) or BUF-PCI(98)
Thank you for purchasing the BUF-PCI(PC) or BUF-PCI(98).
The product is a bus conversion adapter that allows you to add ISA or C
bus-equivalent expansion slots by connecting the PCI bus expansion
slot in the PC with the CONTEC I/O expansion unit.
Please read this document thoroughly before starting building a system,
including creating application programs and connecting with external
devices.
This product consists of the following
-BUS-PCI(PCI) board (to be mounted in the PCI bus expansion slot in
the PC)
-BUS-PCI(PC) board or BUS-PCI(98) board (to be mounted in
CONTEC's I/O expansion unit)
-Cable for connecting the above two products
In order to use the adapter, you need an I/O expansion unit FA-PAC
series, which is sold separately, in addition to the above.

Introduction
BUF-PCI(PC), BUF-PCI(98)2
Features
-The BUS-PCI(PCI) board is a PCI bus-compliant interface board
which can be used with the IBM PC-AT compatibles, NEC
PC98-NX series, and PC-9800 series in which a PCI bus expansion
slot is available.
-Allows you to add I/O-accessible ISA or C bus-equivalent expansion
slots.
-Verifies an interrupt request from the interface board mounted in the
I/O expansion unit to accomplish the interrupt process.
-Driver software for control of the interface board mounted in the I/O
expansion unit is available for Windows XP, Windows 2000,
Windows NT, Windows Me, Windows 98 and Windows 95.
-The I/O access wait and the refresh signal for the I/O expansion unit
can be enabled or disabled.
-Comes with a self-diagnostic feature.
Functions
General-purpose I/O accessing
Allows you to access an added expansion slot for I/O. The I/O wait can
be specified with software.
Interruption
An interrupt can be generated with an interrupt request signal from the
added expansion slot. The status of the interrupt request signal can also
be verified.
Control of the refresh signal
Enabling or disabling of the refresh signal for the added expansion slot
can be specified with software.
Self-testing
Allows self-testing using a dedicated register mounted on the board.
