Marketing Information
StarTech.com's PCI2S550_LP adds 2 additional serial ports to a PC requiring a low profile card, allowing users to connect hardware with serial interfaces such as modems, PDAs, digital cameras, serial printers, digitizer tablets, label printers and ISDN terminal adapters to their PC. The PCI2S550_LP is a 2-port PCI serial accelerator card guaranteed to work with any PC (drivers for Windows XP, ME, 2000, 98, 95, 3.1, NT, Linux and DOS are included). It is easy to install and use thanks to its step-by-step instruction manual and its Plug-and-Play connectivity. IRQ sharing feature also eliminates IRQ conflicts. Two high-speed 16550 UART 9-pin serial ports transfer data at up to 920 Kbps baud rate, ensuring that connected hardware runs at peak performance. Also, built-in 16 byte FIFO buffers work to increase data speeds when multitasking. On top of this, all StarTech.com I/O cards feature a lifetime warranty that ensures continued operation as long as you need it.

Reviewed by: omnitek_dj on 17-May-06 Rating: 2 Star Review
Strengths: Seems to be about the only low profile serial card on the market.
Summary: Ordered 2 cards received 2 DOA cards, paid for express exchange still took over a week to get replacement cards.

Driver install is not very smooth, Windows detects and installs multiple drivers for each component on the card including drivers for \"non-functional\" components which I assumed were portions of the chipset which had no port soldered to the card and were disabled using the undocumented jumpers located on the card.

When finally installed the card seem to work as well as any PCI serial card in a Windows environment. Given the limited number of options may be the best choice but it is not a great option.
