### About DataFire SYNC 2000

#### Introduction

The DataFire SYNC 2000 adapter is an intelligent, high performance synchronous communications adapter that is available in versions for PCI bus and Compact PCI (cPCI) bus compatible systems. The basic design comes with a Motorola MPC860 PowerQUICC™ (Quad Integrated Communications Controller), with an integrated PowerPC™ RISC processor providing four SCCs on the four-port adapter and two SCCs on the two-port adapter.

DataFire SYNC 2000 adapters offer a Universal Interface Bus (UIB) capable of supporting a different interface on each port. The UIB automatically configures the electrical interface of a port based on the type of Digi cable connected to the port. That is, you can select an interface type for a port just by connecting the appropriate cable between the adapter and the peripheral device. You can use any combination of interface types to connect up to two peripherals to the two-port version, or up to four peripherals to the four-port version.
