Product information

Description

The StarTech 2-port ISA RS232 serial adapter card with 16550 UART provides two buffered RS232 COM ports through a standard ISA host interface. Designed for older motherboards and legacy systems, this expansion card enables serial communication at configured baud rates up to 460.9 Kbit/s (460.8 Kbit/s nominal) and supports common rates such as 115.2 Kbit/s and 230.4 Kbit/s. The card is supplied with jumpers for IRQ and port configuration and includes drivers for DOS, Windows and Linux, making it suitable for restoring or expanding serial connectivity on vintage PCs, industrial controllers and embedded platforms.

Advantages

This ISA serial adapter offers buffered serial communications via 16550 UARTs to reduce CPU overhead and support high-speed serial devices. The built-in jumper set enables manual configuration of IRQs and I/O addresses for compatibility with a wide range of legacy systems. With support for established serial baud rates and driver availability across DOS, Windows and Linux, the card simplifies adding two RS232 ports to systems that lack modern expansion options. Its compact physical dimensions make it appropriate for cramped chassis and older form factors.

Key specifications

Interface: ISA host slot
Serial standard: RS232
UART type: 16550 (buffered)
Ports: 2 RS232 COM ports
Data rates: supports 115.2 Kbit/s, 230.4 Kbit/s and up to 460.9 Kbit/s (460.8 Kbit/s nominal)
Driver support: DOS, Windows (legacy versions), Linux
Physical dimensions (approx.): width 24 mm, depth 152 mm, height 140 mm
On-board configuration: jumper-set for IRQ and I/O address selection

How to use

Power down the system and unplug it from mains before installation. Insert the card into an available ISA slot on the motherboard and secure it to the chassis. Configure the on-board jumpers to select appropriate IRQ and I/O address settings that do not conflict with other devices. Reconnect power and boot the system. Install the supplied or compatible drivers for your operating system (DOS, Windows or Linux) if automatic recognition does not occur. After driver installation, verify COM port assignments in the operating system and test communication with the attached serial device at the desired baud rate.

Usage recommendations

For reliable operation, choose IRQ and I/O address settings that avoid conflicts with existing devices. Use shielded RS232 cables for noisy industrial environments and verify device baud rate and handshake settings to match the card’s UART configuration. Because this is an ISA-based solution, ensure physical compatibility with the system chassis and confirm operating system support for legacy drivers before deployment.
