This is in internal version of the PICONET serial interface. As well as providing an external RS232 port, it also includes a real time clock. This card connects to the RM Nimbus via the internal PICONET header. It also provides a link port to daisy chain another internal PICONET card. It was fitted as standard to the original RM Nimbus PC when supplied as a network server, so that the server could have a RTC as well as a serial port for connection of a printer. Its use was reduced when the X series replaced the Nimbus PC as the network servers.
