Adds an IEEE 1284 parallel printer port to a desktop computer

A single-port parallel interface card for the PCI slot. Through its IEEE 1284 printer port it connects printers and similar parallel peripherals to desktop computers that no longer carry a parallel port.

Key features

1284IEEE

Printer port standard

The parallel port meets the IEEE 1284 printer interface.

1.5MByte/s

Data transfer rate

The parallel link carries up to 1.5 MByte per second.

16byte

Built-in FIFO buffer

The card carries a built-in 16 byte FIFO buffer.

MCS9865CVchipset

Parallel port controller

The MCS9865CV chipset drives the port.

PCI 2.1compliant

Plug and play setup

It selects IRQ and I/O addresses automatically and supports PCI IRQ sharing.

EVERYDAY USE

For computers without a parallel portIt brings back the parallel connection that new motherboards no longer provide, through an expansion slot.

Wide operating system supportIt works with Windows 98SE, Me, 2000, XP, NT4.0, Vista and 7, as well as Linux and DOS.
