Features:

• Interfaces the PCI Bus to the MXIbus (32-bit Multisystem eXtension Interface Bus)
• Supports D64, Block, and Synchronous MXI Cycles for High-Performance Data Transfer
• Directly Controls MXIbus Interrupt Levels, Utility Signals, TTL Triggers, and CLK10
• Conforms to PCI Specification 2.0
• Conforms to the MXIbus Specification 2.0
• Supports MXI Bus Termination

The National Instruments PCI-MXI-2 is a half-size, PCI-compatible plug-in circuit board that links your PCI-based computer directly to the MXIbus and vice versa by plugging into one of the expansion slots. This interface card achieves high performance block transfer rates by integrating the MITE custom ASIC with standard interfaces for VXI, VME, MXI, and PCI.

The PCI-MXI-2 is viewed as a VXIbus device since it uses the same communication register set as as other VXIbus devices use. This card can also function as the MXIbus System Controller.
