Fantastic Upgrade for Serial Connectivity

Using this product, our team found that it was an excellent upgrade for our older computers lacking serial ports. The installation process was straightforward, AND the device immediately worked with no driver issues. We were able to use it for various applications involving serial connections, and it performed flawlessly. The compact design also ensures that it doesn't take up much space inside the computer. The only downside is that it only supports two serial ports but that is not a major…

Pros
  • Provides two extra RS232 serial ports for a computer system that doesn't have any or needs additional ones for certain applications
Cons
  • May require some technical expertise to install properly

Not safe for my application

This card is installed in a new Dell. The board works fine for the first few hours, but in the mornings I always get the error message that my devices are not available. Please understand that this is NOT a disadvantage for the seller and the card can be great for less money. demanding applications, but for my system I need to find a card that does not virtualize serial ports and connects them directly to IRQ
