How fast and how much data can be transferred between the host and IOCP-74?
There is no definitive answer because each application has its own set of unique operating characteristics. Keep in mind the real value of the IOCP-74 lies in its ability to be programmed to perform sophisticated front-end operations independent of the host. The transfer rate is often several magnitudes slower and does NOT show the speed at which the IOCP-74 will run applications locally. However, as an indication of transfer potential we have benchmarked the IOCP-74 using the standard IOCPbios, a 12-byte (6 word) data array and a 25mhz 386SX host computer running a C program. The sustained transfer rate was 51khz (ie: a 1 byte transfer every 19.6us or the entire array in 235us). Ultimately, the maximum transfer rate is determined by several factors. Since some applications are concerned with transferring X amount of data in Y amount of time, knowing how these factors affect the transfer process will help determine suitability of the IOCP-74 for a particular application.
