This new generation hi-speed serial port I/O card breaks the speed and IRQ bottlenecks that limit expandability and performance in today's PCs. The most common method of connecting an external peripheral (modem, digital camera, etc.) to a PC, is through a serial port. The problem is that the ports that ship with today's PCs are just too slow to handle the speeds of 56K & ISDN modems. Improving connection speeds without sacrificing PC resources is a real priority.

This serial port PCI card doesjust that ! This PCI bus dual 9-pin serial port with 16650 UART supports data throughput rates up to 460.8k bps. With accelerated COM port from this card added to any PCI equipped PC saving valuable resources for other expansion cards.

• PCI bus 9-pin ultra high speed 16650 UART serial ports.
• Adds two accelerated com ports to any PCI equipped PC - capable of data transmission rates up to 115.28k bps.
• Requires only one system IRQ, shares valuable resources for other expansion cards. Both ports share one PCI bus IRQ - even when accessed simultaneously.
• Easy jumper-less Plug-and-Play installation, automatically configures itself for a free PCI I/O address IRQ level.
• 100% compatible with any RS-232C serial peripheral devices - including 56K external modems and ISDN external terminal adapters, Palm PC, digital camera, bar-code, scanner, UPS, TAPZ telephones, etc.
• Integrated 32-byte FIFO buffer with software configurable Tx/Rx triggers, 4X clock and on-board flow control which guarantee errorless data transmission even at top speed
• Supports drivers for  Windows98SE/ME/NT 4.0/2000/XP/Vista OS.
