- YRRID INTRODUCES HIGH-SPEED SERIAL PORT FOR NeXT
-
- Chapel Hill, N.C., August 3, 1992 - Yrrid Incorporated announces TTYDSP, a
- high-speed serial port for the NeXT computer. TTYDSP converts the Digital
- Signal Processor (DSP) port on a NeXT computer into a third RS-232 serial
- port, for use with a wide range of RS-232 peripherals including modems,
- printers, and plotters.
-
- "TTYDSP delivers the performance and reliability that today's high-speed
- peripherals demand of a serial port," said Christopher Lloyd, Vice President
- of Yrrid. "Because NeXT workstations have a built-in DSP port, our TTYDSP
- product seemed a natural addition to the platform. We think it's a perfect
- and low-cost solution for NeXT customers who are not currently taking full
- advantage of the DSP."
-
- Using the processing power of the NeXT's DSP, TTYDSP drastically improves
- system performance and communications reliability during high speed serial
- data transfers. As a result, it is ideal for UUCP sites, high speed dial-ins,
- data collection, RS-232 printers, and plotters.
-
- In addition, TTYDSP provides emulation of the NeXT serial port device,
- maintaining compatibility with existing communications software. TTYDSP can
- operate at a wide range of standard and non-standard baud rates up to 128,000
- baud, and can sustain transfers with high-speed peripherals running at common
- rates such as 57,600 and 76,800 baud, which are unattainable with the standard
- serial port.
-
- A TTYDSP compatible SLIP/PPP implementation - providing TCP/IP connectivity
- through the DSP port - is planned for a late '92 release.
-
- Pricing and availability:
- TTYDSP costs $xxx.yy for a single user license and is available now from Yrrid.
- Educational discounts are available.
-
- Based in North Carolina, Yrrid Incorporated designs, implements and markets
- products for the NeXT platform.
