PCI Parallel Adapter Card - 1 Port StarTech.com

This PCI Parallel Adapter Card is designed to add a parallel port to computers that lack one, allowing connection of various peripherals. It supports multiple communication modes including EPP, ECP, SPP, and BPP, ensuring compatibility with a wide range of devices. The card is suitable for both 32-bit and 64-bit PCI-X slots and operates with voltages of 3.3V or 5V, making it adaptable to different systems. It offers data transfer rates of up to 1.8 Mbps, which is sufficient for most parallel peripheral needs.

Installation is straightforward with plug-and-play support, and the I/O address and IRQ are automatically assigned by the system. This card works seamlessly with operating systems like Windows, Linux, and DOS, making it a versatile choice for different computing environments. It allows users to connect printers, scanners, CD-R/RWs, Zip drives, and memory card readers through the added parallel port. The card's design ensures compatibility with a broad range of PCs, making it an ideal solution for legacy or specialized hardware setups.

The card comes with no additional accessories beyond the adapter itself. Users should ensure their system has an available PCI or PCI-X slot before installation. It is particularly useful in scenarios where modern computers lack parallel ports but require connection to older peripherals. However, it may not be suitable for newer systems that have moved away from parallel port interfaces entirely.
