Startech 2 Port PCI LPT, RS232 Serial Board

PEX1S1P952 PCI Express Card

The PEX1S1P952 1S1P Native PCI Express Parallel/Serial Combo Card with 16950 UART turns a PCI Express slot into 1 RS232 (DB9) serial, and 1 parallel port.

The combo card features a native PCI Express single chip design that allows you to take advantage of full PCI Express capability, providing improved speed and reliability while reducing the load applied to the CPU by as much as 48% over conventional serial cards that use a bridge chip design.

This 1-Port Serial/1-Port Parallel card offers compatibility with a broad range of operating systems including Windows® (32/64-bit) and Linux, for easy integration into mixed environments. The card also features an optional low profile/half-height bracket that enables you to install the card in virtually any computer case, regardless of form factor.
