Review on Enhance your Connectivity with the Vantec 1-Port Parallel PCIe Host Card (UGT-PCE10PL) by Brian Unruh

Revainrating 1 out of 5

good card, just didn't work for what i needed (old security button with parallel port)

For the most part it worked fine as a standard printer port interface. I needed it to interface with older technology (Perkin Elmer TGA security button on the parallel port). The driver seems to be working fine, but will automatically try to figure out what settings you need. Unfortunately, my application required very specific settings (slightly different than the usual 1st and 2nd choices) and you couldn't set those exact settings for the card. It works well with printers and scanners, but not with the security button, which I had to communicate with. The serial ports worked very well and there didn't seem to be any problems at all.

Pros
  • Good product for the price
Cons
  • weak
