The STARTECH PCI2S1P2 is a PCI expansion card designed to add legacy port connectivity to desktop computer systems. It provides two RS232 DB9 serial ports and one IEEE 1284 DB25 parallel port from a single PCI slot. This card is suitable for businesses and IT professionals who need to integrate older peripheral devices with modern systems that lack built-in serial or parallel interfaces.
Key applications include connecting specialized equipment such as point-of-sale terminals, industrial PLCs, scientific sensors, medical devices, or legacy printers and scanners. The parallel port supports SPP/Byte/ECP/EPP modes with speeds up to 1.5Mbps, while the serial ports offer bi-directional RS232 communication up to 115.2Kbps per port, featuring a 16C550 UART. The card includes both full-profile and low-profile brackets for versatile installation in various case form factors and supports Windows 7+ and Linux 2.6.x-5.x LTS operating systems.
This PCI 1x Parallel and 2x Serial Combo Card installs into a single PCI slot in your computer (occupying 2 to 3 expansion slots, depending on profile), and adds a DB25 IEEE 1284 parallel port and two DB9 RS 232 serial ports to your system.
Adds an LPT Parallel Port
The controller card features an Asix MCS9865 chip and enables you to connect a DB25 parallel device to your desktop computer. The parallel port is ideal for connecting printers, scanners, plotters, point-of-sale terminals, PLCs, scientific sensors, medical equipment or oscilloscopes. The parallel (LPT) port supports SPP/Byte/Nibble/ECP/EPP modes and IEEE 1284 for speeds up to 1.5Mbps.
Adds a COM Serial Port
The Asix MCS9865 chip also enables you to connect two DB9 devices using the same controller card, compatible with industry standard 16C550 UART. The serial ports are ideal for connecting point of sale terminals, serial printers, PLCs, control/automation in factories, scientific sensors, medical equipment, scanners and oscilloscopes. The serial (COM) ports support bi-directional RS232 speeds up to 115.2Kbps per port, available 256 byte FIFO buffer & 9th data bit.
Wide Installation Compatibility
With broad OS support, including for Windows (7 and up), and Linux (2.6.x to 5.x LTS versions only), this PCI serial/parallel card is easy to integrate into mixed environments. The card comes pre-configured with 2x full-profile brackets, and includes optional 3x low-profile brackets, so installation is easy regardless of the case form factor.
PCI2S1P2 is backed by a StarTech.com lifetime warranty with free 24/5 multi-lingual North American based technical support. StarTech.com has been the IT professionals' choice for over 30 years.
The card supports Windows 7 and newer versions, as well as Linux kernel versions 2.6.x to 5.x LTS. This broad compatibility allows for integration into mixed IT environments.
The parallel (LPT) port is designed for connecting devices such as printers, scanners, plotters, point-of-sale terminals, PLCs, scientific sensors, medical equipment, and oscilloscopes, supporting IEEE 1284 modes up to 1.5Mbps.
The package includes the 2S1P PCI Serial Parallel Combo Card, one full-profile bracket (pre-installed), two low-profile brackets for the serial ports, one low-profile bracket for the parallel port, and a quick-start guide.
The parallel (LPT) port supports speeds up to 1.5Mbps, while each serial (COM) port supports bi-directional RS232 speeds up to 115.2Kbps.
