This versatile card is ideal for connecting legacy printers, scanners, plotters, and scientific or medical equipment that rely on parallel and serial interfaces. The installation process is straightforward, with compatibility across a wide range of systems including Windows 7 and newer, Windows Server 2003 and higher, as well as Linux distributions starting from kernel 2.6.X. The card fits into standard PCIe x1 slots, providing a seamless upgrade for desktop and industrial computers alike.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe parallel port supports data transfer speeds up to 2.5 Mbps and is compatible with SPP, Byte, Nibble, and ECP modes, conforming to IEEE 1284 standards. This allows reliable communication with devices such as point-of-sale terminals, industrial PLCs, and scientific sensors. The serial port features bi-directional RS232 communication with speeds up to 921.6 Kbps, supported by a 256-byte FIFO buffer and an industry-standard 16C950 UART controller. An optional SATA power input enables enhanced power management by adjusting voltage output between 5V and 12V, which can be set via a jumper on the PCB.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned for broad application, this combo card supports automation, control, and data acquisition tasks in manufacturing, healthcare, and research environments. It features auto IRQ and IO address assignment, PCI Power Management 1.2 compliance, and supports IRQ sharing for optimal resource allocation. Backed by a lifetime warranty and supported by StarTech.com’s dedicated technical team, this expansion card ensures long-term reliability and professional-grade performance. Whether upgrading an existing system or building a new setup, the PEX1S1P950 provides a cost-effective solution for expanding legacy device compatibility with modern computers.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eFeatures:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003ePCIe card with serial and parallel ports: Adds a DB25 parallel and a DB9 RS232 port to your computer via a PCIe 2.0 x1 slot; installs in a full\/standard profile PCIe slot; latest version of the PEX1S1P952\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eParallel port speeds up to 2.5 Mbps: Supports SPP, Byte, Nibble, and ECP modes for versatile legacy device connectivity\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eSupports IEEE 1284: Ensures compatibility with a wide range of parallel peripherals\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eEquipped with Asix AX99100 chip: Provides reliable communication for both parallel and serial interfaces\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eSerial port speeds up to 921.6 Kbps: Bi-directional RS232 communication with a 256-byte FIFO buffer and 16C950 UART controller\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eWide application support: Ideal for printers, scanners, plotters, point-of-sale systems, PLCs, scientific sensors, medical equipment, and oscilloscopes\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eBroad compatibility: Compliant with PCIe Rev. 2, PCI Power Management 1.2; supports Windows 7 and newer, Windows Server 2003 and higher, Linux (2.6.X+); auto IRQ and IO assignment with IRQ sharing support\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eStarTech.com quality assurance: Over 30 years of trusted IT hardware solutions with lifetime warranty and dedicated technical support\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"StarTech.com","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44595521290282,"sku":"6184772","price":50.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0692\/2285\/8794\/files\/1066709469.jpg?v=1784454323","url":"https:\/\/atticusgoods.com\/products\/startech-com-pex1s1p950-pcie-serial-and-parallel-combo-card-with-16c950-uart","provider":"Atticus Goods","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
