Abstract
The invention provides an apparatus for testing input/output (I/O) interface in a computer system. The apparatus is capable of testing the I/O interface under real distance condition. The apparatus communicates with a first I/O interface in the computer system via a signal medium. The test apparatus includes a memory means, a clock generator for outputting a clock signal, an I/O interface communicating with the first I/O interface in the computer system via the signal medium, and a controller connected to the I/O interface. The controller operates synchronously with the clock signal for writing data transmitted from the I/O interface into the memory means, or reading out the data from the memory means and then transmitting the data to the first I/O interface through the I/O interface when a predetermined condition becomes effective.
