Product Description

With a PCI expansion slot, you can add a parallel port and two RS-232 serial ports to your PC
Adapter with 16550 UART protocol on 2S1P PCI Serial Parallel co
RS232 serial port and parallel port on PCI
A two-in-one serial and parallel adapter card, an adapter card for PCI serial/parallel cards, as well as a serial RS232 adapter card with a parallel port
Each of the three ports shares only one IRQ, so the system resource needed to operate the card is kept minimal

Questions & Answers

Would the pcie slot work as the power source or would the molex cable be required? No molex cables are available at all for PC power supplies on my desktops. ?

It is not necessary to have a Molex connection with our PEX2S5531P. For devices that support power over serial, the power connection is specifically designed to allow power output from the ninth pin of the DB9 connector(s). There are a number of scenarios in which the power connection is not required. The following is a message from Brian, Visit our Support page for more information

What happens when you run it under DOS? Do I need a driver for it?

This PEX2S1P553B can be used with Windows DOS, but a driver installation is required. I am Atha, on an assignment for Visit our Support page for more information

It appears that the pex2s5531p does not support the epp/ecp modes (I can't set control port bit 5), but on your site it says it does. What does it mean?

Would you mind explaining how you are There is no way to do that unless you have a parallel port.

In the event of a PCI-based cyberattack, please let us know Are you able to use this card with a server that runs on Windows Server 2008 64 bit operating system and an IBM X3500 M4 7383?

I'm not sure I installed Windows 7 on a new computer with 64-bit operating system. I was pleased with the result.

Under Linux, does not fully function
3/5

The parallel port on 2 boards does not work under Linux. It was not something that could be handled by tech support. The fact that I had so much more experience than the tech wasn't a good feeling for me. It took multiple attempts to install the driver with no success, and after multiple attempts failed I had given up and switched to a print server connected by Ethernet, no problem. The serial port worked right out of the box with no issues even under Linux virtual environments. However, don't even get me started on the parallel functions!.

This is a great product at a great price, but the installation was a bit iffy
4/5

You can still spend over $1000 on a computer nowadays, but wham bam, it no longer has the 9 pin serial port! The fight is over, I tell you! I invite all RS232 lovers to join forces! We need to save our ports! The sign - Picket signs are built, and the march is undertaken. It occurs to me from time to time to bring work home and to review embedded system programs. I found this to work Only one issue I had was the installation routine was extremely confusing, so I lost a star. As a result of Windows, I have learned to hit "go" repeatedly and not pause to read. To access this message, I clicked seven times on a dialog box that had the same message. My feelings would have been more relaxed if the text had been changed. Then it stopped and was fully installed on my XP system. I thought I was going to be stuck in an endless loop. It doesn't matter if it seems like the program is doing the same thing over and over again if you buy it. Note as follows If you have an older program that can only access COM1-COM6 To reassign the COM port to the lower numbers (pre USB software), you will have to MANUALLY re-assign your COM port. Whenever you are reassigned, keep track of it. Unfortunately, we are not able to use the DOS redirect command either.

The program has been installed on a Windows 10 system with a motherboard from Intel
5/5

Based on the Intel Desktop Board LGA1155 DDR3 1600 ATX motherboard installed on a Windows 10 system. I scanned BOXDZ77GA About 70K people. First, I didn't get the device to work, but after reading the reviews, I found that a reviewer downloaded the drivers from the Startech website. Even after you've seen the COM ports assigned, you still must reboot. Please ensure that the parallel port cable is installed with the red line facing the opposite direction as shown in It has not yet been a chance to use the ports, but I will.

It has a terrific design and is compatible with all platforms

That's really cool
5/5

The expansion cards made my life so much easier. I could have bought two expansion cards, but I only needed one. I installed this in my Vostro 230 slim tower and am very pleased. This product comes with drivers and has a higher quality than I Including extra risers so that it fits a slim tower design, it becomes a great addition to your system. The smaller bolts can be put on with just an adjustable wrench after you take off the bolts holding the riser in place.

I installed LPT port perfectly
5/5

It worked right away. This program worked just fine on my Windows 7 machine. Furthermore, I had some security dongles that allowed me to run sign software through the LPT port for In view of the fact that new computers typically do not come with LPT ports, I had to install As far as I am concerned, this one is great. I found this to be a good deal.

It is difficult to find anything that is not excellent from StarTech
5/5

There is a real StarTech I/O card in my Windows 7 tower PC, and it works just fine. It is a good idea to be careful when using a no name I/O card. Most of them don't come with any drivers or support. I recommend that you return it if the retail box is not sealed by StarTech!.

I am okay with that.
