Unique PCI‑E 2x Serial & 1x Parallel multi‑I/O combo card – Single‑slot expansion card that adds 2× RS‑232 serial (DB9) and 1× IEEE 1284 parallel (DB25) ports to a PC, compatible with both PCI and PCI‑Express x1 slots. Based on a 16C550‑class UART, supports standard serial speeds up to 115.2 kbps (some listings quote up to 16 Mbps per port depending on chipset) and parallel modes SPP/EPP/ECP with bi‑directional speeds up to 1.5 MB/s. Includes standard and low‑profile brackets for desktop and slim cases.
Product Overview
The UNIQUE PCI‑1P2S is a multi‑I/O combo card aimed at legacy and industrial systems that still rely on serial and parallel ports—POS terminals, label/barcode printers, CNC/PLC equipment, lab instruments, and older peripherals. It installs into either a PCI or PCI‑Express x1 slot (the listing claims dual compatibility), and exposes two DB9 male RS‑232 serial ports and one DB25 female parallel port on the bracket.
Key Features
- 2× RS‑232 Serial + 1× Parallel – Adds 2 COM ports (DB9) and 1 LPT port (DB25) via one card.
- PCI & PCI‑Express x1 Compatible – Works in legacy PCI and modern PCIe x1 slots (per product description).
- 16C550‑Class UART – FIFO‑buffered serial with hardware flow control and wide driver support.
- IEEE 1284 Parallel – Supports SPP/EPP/ECP modes for printers and legacy devices.
- Bi‑Directional Parallel – Up to ~1.5 MB/s data transfer for fast parallel I/O.
- Standard + Low‑Profile Brackets – Fits full‑height and slim/small‑form‑factor cases.
