The SD-PCI50018 is a multi-port PCI card designed to expand the connectivity options of a computer by adding serial and parallel ports. It is ideal for users who need to connect legacy devices such as modems, industrial equipment, or older printers that rely on these interfaces. The card features four serial DB9 ports and one parallel DB25 port, making it a versatile solution for environments where modern USB or other interfaces are not available or suitable.
The card uses the Netmos NM9865 chipset, which ensures reliable performance and compatibility with a wide range of systems. The serial ports support data rates up to 115.2 Kbits/sec and include features like hardware and software flow control, making them suitable for high-speed data transfer applications. The parallel port supports IEEE 1284 standards and can operate in multiple modes, including SPP, PS2, EPP, and ECP, allowing for flexible use with various peripheral devices.
Installation of the SD-PCI50018 requires a free PCI slot on the computer's motherboard. It is compatible with most desktop systems running Windows operating systems. The card does not require additional drivers for basic functionality, though specific software may be needed for advanced features or device configuration. It is recommended to check the manufacturer's website for the latest drivers and support information.
The card's design is compact and built for durability, ensuring it fits securely into the PCI slot without causing interference with other components. Its use of high-quality materials ensures long-term reliability in both office and industrial settings. The inclusion of FIFO buffers on both serial and parallel ports helps reduce data loss and improve overall performance during high-volume transfers.
