High-Speed Serial Port RS232 PCMCIA Cardbus Adapter Card Serial port connection is still an ideal input interconnect with many external devices. However many new laptop computers these days do not come with any serial port any more. What to do with this dilemma for many  new mobile computers ? This new parallel port PCMCIA adapter card is the best choice in these situations when a high speed serial port interface is required. This new high-speed PCMCIA to Serial Port adapter card is an ideal solution for adding a native serial port to a wide variety of laptop/notebook PC systems. It can function exactly like a standard COM port and can be configured differently as such by most serial application software. Easy Expansion For Laptop/Notebook PC With No Serial Port Use this RS232 serial port cardbus card to easily extend your laptop PC with a new serial com port if it does not have one built in or used to replace a bad serial port on your notebook PC. Provides Real Communication Port For All Legacy Devices This adapter is the most cost-effective way for users to connect legacy serial port devices to their laptop PC.  Unlike USB to serial port adapters, this PC adapter card functions exactly like a computer's native serial port and provides a true RS-232 serial port in order for your laptop PC to work properly with devices that require a RS232 port for setup and configuration. For many legacy devices like modem, barcode scanner or other older serial-port devices, they only work with a real COM port from a computer and in many cases can not work with virtual ports provided from those USB to serial port adapter cables to simulate the serial port  connection. After successfully installing this adapter card to your laptop PC, it will be listed in the Device Manger as a standard serial COM2, COM3, COM4 or other port and this new port setting can also be re-configured just like a native serial port to have selectable and shareable interrupt, further extending a portable or handheld system's limited resources. Supports All Legacy Hardware Requiring RS-232 Connection The PC card is designed to provide maximum performance and fully supports the industrial standard 16C550 UART protocol for all legacy devices that require RS-232 connection. Very suitable for connection with applications such as: Industrial machinery control and monitoring equipments. Telecommunication devices like dial-up modem pools, ATM's, cellular phones. Medical testing and other laboratory instruments. Transportation system like serial printers/plotters. Entertainment systems like satellite receiver. Retail system like Point-Of-Sale systems and barcode scanners. GPS tracking devices. Mobile data collection equipments for field operation. Computer terminal Older GSM phones Satellite phones, low-speed satellite modems and other satellite based transceiver devices Micro controller programmers LED and LCD text displays Test and measuring equipment such as digital millimeters and weighing systems Updating firmware on various consumer devices.   Fast performance UART chipset built in.
