    SMC's newest ARCNET® Micro Channel™ Architecture board, the 16­bit PS310, contains dual connectors: coax for star or bus configurations,
    and twisted pair for star or daisy­chain configurations.

    This board is a direct replacement for our ARCNETPS 110 and PS210 coax
    boards. To preserve compatibility with these older products, the new
    PS310 uses the same Micro Channel Architecture ID and operates with the
    same NetWare® drivers.

    We've also added diagnostic LEDs and an on­board socket for an optional auto­boot PROM, features not available on our older boards. And, by
    combining our latest VLSI (Very Large­Scale Integration) devices with
    Surface Mount Technology, we've been able to reduce the board's size and increase its reliability.
