Reportedly, it did "flourish", but almost nothing else is known.
- Some information fragments are here: Cirkit.
Technical
- I/O ports are unknown...?
- Chipset: uses 8251 UART (according to the advert)
- Note - Cirkit reportedly also made a "Twin-port" serial interface (which probably used other chipset)

- None such...?
Specs (from advert)
- Plugs into Disk Drive, through Bus Connector for Disk Drives and other peripherals.
- Can be used to interface to other RS232 devices, such as Modems, Plotters and Printers.
- Baud rates supported 75/1200, 1200/1200 and 300/300
- INPUTS:- Data, one handshake - RS232 compatible
- OUTPUTS:- Data, one handshake - +5 volt positive going Works with all TTL level inputs and most RS232 devices.
- All interface features are software addressable, uses 8251 UART.
- Supplied with full RSX drivers, which may be used in your own programs.
- Not directly compatible with Amstrad CPM.
- Extensive documentation about interface and RSX's supplied on cassette.
