Key features

Plug and play installationThe card seats in a PCI slot and supports PCI IRQ sharing.

MCS9865CV chipsetThe chipset drives the serial and parallel ports from a single device.

16C550 compatible UARTThe serial ports follow standard 16C550 UART behavior and use the built-in 16 byte send and receive FIFO.

IEEE 1284 printer portThe parallel port covers SPP, PS2, EPP and ECP modes.

1 Mbytes/sec transferBoth the serial and the parallel line carry data at 1 Mbytes/sec.

Broad operating system supportThe card runs under Windows98/Me/2000/NT4.0/XP/Vista/Win7, Linux and Dos.
