ARTIC CARDS FOR ISA BUS

There were three ARTIC card groups available for computers with an ISA-bus structure. This page contains details and component part numbers for all card groups. You can jump to a given card group or just read down through them.

ARTIC186 Model II ISA/PCI Adapter
ARTIC186 8-port Adapter
ARTIC X.25 ISA/PCI Adapter

ARTIC X.25 Interface Co-Processor (replaced by the ARTIC X.25 ISA/PCI)
ARTIC Multiport (replaced by the ARTIC186 8-port)
ARTIC Multiport 8-port 232 (replaced by the ARTIC186 8-port)
ARTIC Dual Port
ARTIC Multiport Model 2 (replaced by the ARTIC186 Model II ISA/PCI)

Information about installing and configuring ISA ARTIC cards is located in the Technical Details section.
