PCI Upgrade
-- Everything you
need to use the new PCI based systems. |
 |
| Planning Recommended |
New computers no longer support the ISA buss.
Finding an ISA replacement will become harder over time
If your PC system fails, you may be down with no
immediate solution.
NOTICE
Flowcon cannot get more ISA systems. Because supporting PCI
requires your software to be rewritten, please allow 8 weeks.
Upgrades will be performed in the order of deposits
received. |
Pre-planning recommendations:
1. Locate one or more spare
ISA systems from older stock. Put one into service, proving it works, and use your current
system as a spare.
2. Keep your room clean, to
prolong the life of your present computer system.
3. An electrostatic air
cleaner can double the life of your computers. It uses a permanent metal filter --

4. Budget for the PCI conversion.
This is your long term solution.

| Option #2: NEW Computer and NEW Software |
1. NEW PCI computer System Same as the standard
upgrade, with new keyboard, keyboard skin and 15" or 17" monitor (customer
choice). 2. NEW Flowcon PCI board: Same as
above, with new 3-scale adapter cable (as needed).
3. NEW Flowcon Batch Software We will rebuild your software from the newest baseline for
brand new systems. Check our Software
Features to see if you could benefit from
having the latest version. Note: a few of our more specialized systems have one-of-a-kind
