Review on StarTech.com Native PCI Express Combo Card: 2x Serial 1x Parallel RS232 Adapter (PEX2S5531P) by Sean Maile

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Does not fully work on Linux.

Parallel port not working on 2 boards in Linux. Tech support couldn't handle it. I felt like I had a lot more experience than technique, never felt good about it. A tricky driver installation that failed multiple times without permission on the parallel port finally gave up and used the ethernet print server for parallel, just no problem. Serial ports worked fine in Linux virtual environments too, but FORGET about parallel features!

Pros
  • Absolute legend
Cons
  • Nothing here
