## Long description

The StarTech.com PCI Serial Parallel Combo Card Dual Serial RS232 DB9 & Parallel LPT DB25 adds two RS232 DB9 serial ports and one IEEE 1284 DB25 parallel port to a desktop system via a single PCI/PCI-X card. Designed for legacy and industrial peripherals, the card supports both full-height and low-profile installations and is compatible with common Windows and Linux drivers. It uses an ASIX MCS9865 controller to provide reliable serial and parallel connectivity for devices that require RS-232 or LPT interfaces.
Advantages
This PCI combo card consolidates parallel and serial connectivity into one expansion slot, saving motherboard resources while providing two independent RS-232 COM ports and a bi-directional parallel LPT port. The serial ports implement 16C550-compatible UART features with 256-byte FIFO buffers and support up to 115.2 kbps per port. The parallel port supports SPP/Byte/Nibble/ECP/EPP modes and IEEE 1284 up to 1.5 Mbps. The card ships with full-height brackets and optional low-profile brackets for flexible installation and is backed by a lifetime warranty and multi-lingual technical support.
Suitable for
Connecting legacy printers, scanners and plotters that require a DB25 LPT interface
Point-of-sale terminals and serial receipt printers using DB9 RS-232
Industrial control equipment such as PLCs, sensors and factory automation devices
Laboratory and medical instruments, oscilloscopes and measurement devices with serial or parallel ports
Mixed Windows and Linux environments needing additional COM and LPT ports

How to use
Install the card into an available PCI or PCI-X slot on a powered-off desktop motherboard, selecting the appropriate bracket (full-height or low-profile) for your computer case. Secure the card with the chassis screw and reconnect power. Boot the system and install the provided or downloadable drivers compatible with your operating system; supported drivers include Windows (Windows 7 and later) and Linux kernels 2.6.x through supported 5.x LTS releases. After driver installation, connect DB9 serial and DB25 parallel devices using standard cables and configure COM port settings (baud rate, parity, stop bits) or parallel modes (ECP/EPP) in your application or operating system device manager as required.
Usage recommendations
Use shielded, appropriately rated serial and parallel cables of recommended lengths for your environment to minimize noise and signal degradation; verify COM port settings in device manager or terminal software before establishing communication, and select the parallel mode (SPP/ECP/EPP) that matches the requirements of your peripheral for reliable data transfer.
