691.2kbps RS485 PC interface?

One reason could be is that 691.2kbps needs an uncommon baudrate
frequency if you don't want a lot of data errors.

Or run it at a slower baud rate  Maybe 500k may work if its adjustable at
the client end

I wish, I swear they have deliberatly done this to make me buy their card...
their product aint looking so good any more. Looks like ill have to make a
691.2 to 960 converter....

PCI
card.....
at
card...
This one's about US$100 - any good?

Cheers.

This time I'll include the link:

They specifically mention 691.2k, so maybe it is a 'standard'....?

Cheers.

Thanks they look good, but where about do they specifically mention 691.2??
I can only see it says 50bps to 921.6, even in the data sheet :-(

Put it down to dyslexia. I'm a  member of NAD, the National Dyslexics

I have a quadtech pcmcia serial card on my notebook and it can run both
16550 and 17550 uart speeds up to about a meg per  second

Maybe check out their 485 cards for an option


691.2??

It has a feature for syncing with incoming data so if can match it may work
, check out the data sheet on the above site . It looks like a nice card

If you get the 960K model if it can't handle the rate natively it can
probably be modified by changing the crystal.

Bye.
