Review on Enhance Your System's Connectivity with IO Crest 4 Serial Ports PCI-e Controller Card: Fan-Out Cable and Low Profile Bracket Included by Ted Boone

Pros: After installing the driver, the card works fine. Cons: You almost have to use a CD to install the driver. My new system doesn't have a DVD/CD drive - I haven't needed one in years. When I went to the website for the driver, the download list was confusing to say the least. Please note that I am a Cisco/Juniper Network Engineer with over 24 years of experience. I literally could not find a card model that is NOT listed on the box or on the card itself. So I borrowed an external DVD/CD and let the operating system find the driver. He actually found it, so it's intimidating to me. The cable numbering is also "unique": Port 1 = Com6Port 2 = Com5port 3 = Com4Port 4 = Com3Logic assumes 1 = 3, 2 = 4, etc. This was not the case. It's not a bad card, but it can definitely be a problem for some to install.
