High Performance
Allied Telesyn’s new AT-2800TX CardBus
adapter card meets the demands of today’s
high-performance notebook computers for 32
bit PC cards.
Capable of auto-sensing and operating on
either a 10T or 100TX network, the 
AT-2800TX is an Ethernet LAN adapter card
for notebooks designed to meet CardBus, the 
32-bit high-performance PC Card standard.The
CardBus specification provides true 32 bit PCI
bus performance in a PC Card format. Unlike
the claims of many 10/100 PCMCIA cards,
CardBus provides a true 100Mbps network
interface.The AT-2800TX uses the CardBus
technology to eliminate the interface bottleneck
that slowed down older 16 bit PC cards.
Notebooks equipped with CardBus are 
compatible with the AT-2800TX, as well as
older PCMCIA cards.
CardBus Defined
Providing higher levels of performance than 16
bit PC cards, 32 bit CardBus cards take advantage
of internal bus speeds four to six times faster
than their predecessors. CardBus PC Cards
adopt the well-established PC Card form,
providing for a compact, rugged card that can
be inserted completely within its host computer
without any external cabling.
Because CardBus attains the same high-level
performance of the host platform’s internal 
system bus, it’s an ideal way to add 100Mbps
LAN, SCSI II, video conferencing, or other 
high-performance capabilities to the notebook
form factor.
