cards while still using your existing cards and
software programs. The 40Mb/s Y-Bus supports up to
12, CNX and 2-Series control cards in its
Solutions Card Frame and serves as the pipeline
for IR, serial communications and relays. And the
300Mb/s Z-Bus is designed to support up to 4 super
high speed expansion cards for applications such
as 10/100 Ethernet, and future USB, USBII,
FireWire, disk drive arrays and more.
