Review on πŸ’» Lava Computer Enhanced PCI Parallel Board by Paul Evangelista

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Good card but the metal plate of the card is much shorter for a standard PC

I gave this card 3/5 instead of 5/5 for the following reason: My PC (Dell Dimension E310) has it not done with a parallel port which I needed for my parallel port printer (Xerox DocuPrint 4508) which is why I bought this parallel port card. When I received the card, I found that the card manufacturer didn't mention or know that the card's design (ie the metal frame that mounts on the back of the computer) is too short for a standard PC. However, I managed to work around this problem by cutting the parallel port card's output into the metal plate that came with my computer and then installing the card. The card itself works fine, but as I said above, to know the dimensions of the metal plate needed to install the card, it is much shorter than what is required for proper installation in the back panel of a standard PC.

Pros
  • Worth the money
Cons
  • Poorly thought out
