The Serial Interface

The 4247 Model Z03 attaches to a host or controller with the RS-232C serial
interface. A single, 9-pin D-connector mounted directly on the adapter card allows
attachment to the interface.
The RS-232C interface uses a standard serial cable up to 15.2 m (50 ft) in length,
with transmission rates up to 19.2 Kbps.
