Review on StarTech Com Profile Parallel Adapter PCI1P_LP by Kris Feezy

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Win7 64-bit with SafeNet key works fine

When the USB to parallel adapter cable with the SafeNet key I had to use didn't work at all, I got this parallel Tried PCI card. The key works great. The included CD contained all the drivers needed for 64-bit Windows 7, although the printed manual made no mention of Windows 7 at all. However, the driver must be installed manually. After installing the card in my computer, I opened Device Manager and saw that the card appeared with a yellow icon indicating a problem. I selected Driver Update and the Windows 7 64-bit Drivers folder on the CD. After installing the driver, the card showed up correctly in the device manager and everything worked fine. I rated the card 5 stars but only gave 4 stars for ease of use as the documentation doesn't cover Windows 7 and the driver has to be installed manually.

Pros
  • Always liked it
Cons
  • Not as good as advertised
