Each port includes integrated 16-byte FIFO buffer with software configurable Tx/Rx triggers.

All eight ports share one PCI bus IRQ - even when accessed simultaneously, saving valuable resources for other expansion cards.

Easy Plug&Play installation - automatically configures I/O addresses & IRQs.
