Review on πŸ”Œ Enhance Connectivity with Vantec 2+1 Serial and Parallel PCI Host Card (Black) by Tyshawn Adams

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Poor manufacturing - board or components shorted out

After installation, I found that the wires were not fully soldered during the manufacturing process; several strands of wire were not fully soldered to the pole and touched another pole. Luckily this didn't damage the computer as there was a short in the communication lines. If you're good with a soldering iron this can be fixed as sending it back can be more hassle than it's worth.

Pros
  • Adding an IEEE 1284 parallel port to the system
Cons
  • Style 90
