The majority of today´s motherboards are not equipped with any RS-232 or parallel port. With SUNIX MIO5499H Multi I/O board, users can expand four RS-232 and one IEEE1284 parallel ports to their system, allowing them to use serial and parallel devices further. SUNIX MIO5499H is compatible with PCI Express x1, x2, x4, x8 and x16 lane and PCI/PCI-x Bus, allowing the board to be installed in virtually any PC system. Furthermore, SUNIX MIO5499H Multi-IO card supports majority of the OS on the market. We provide driver support for Microsoft Windows 32/64-bit platform, Linux, making it the best and most economical solution for commercial and industrial applications
The Sunix Mio5499H is engineered to expand system connectivity with multiple legacy devices while maintaining high-speed data transfers. Its low-profile and standard dual bracket design fits a variety of PC cases. The card is equipped with 4 serial ports and 1 parallel port with broad protocol compatibility (SPP, BPP, ECP, EPP) and robust hardware/software buffers to ensure smooth operations. Designed for reliability, the card protects against electrostatic discharge and offers support for both 32-bit and 64-bit systems.
