Interrupts are level-sensitive on the PCI bus. The base address and IRQ are automatically detected by the device drivers Quatech supplies for various operating systems. For cases where no device driver is available, such as for operation under DOS, Quatech supplies the "QTPCI" DOS software utility for manually determining the resources used. -

Page 16: Options Register
Figure 10--- Options Register bit definitions 4.4.1 Enhanced Serial Adapter Identification The ID bits are used to identify the DSC-200/300 as a Quatech Enhanced Serial Adapter. Logic operations are performed such that the values read back from these bits will not necessarily be the values that were written to them. Bit ID1 will return the logical-AND of the values written to ID[1:0], while bit ID0 will return their exclusive-OR. -
Page 17: Clock Rate Multiplier
A standard serial port operates at a clock speed of 1.8432 MHz. In order to achieve higher data rates, Quatech Enhanced Serial Adapters can operate at two times, four times, or even eight times this standard clock speed. This is controlled by the clock rate multiplier bits in the Options Register. -
