| I am looking for a S-BUS multi-port serial board (for SPARC stations)
| where the individual ports can be configured (by software control) to be
| either async or byte sync (also known as monosync). Does anyout out there
| know of such a device? Note that byte sync is different from bit-sync and
| bisync.
| 
| Here is a list of the companies I have already contacted:
| 
| Aurora Technologies: async and bit-sync only
| Danford Corp.:       async only
| GNP Computers:       async only - expected to have sync in the future
| Texas Microsystems:  async only

The following vendors advertise sync support;

Antares Microsystems  415-965-4326
Agile Systems 608-274-6880

Check them out.
