PCI Serial Card for Legacy Systems

This SIIG CyberSerial card adds one 9-pin RS232 port to a desktop PC through a standard PCI slot. It is built for technicians and industrial users who must connect serial peripherals such as barcode scanners or POS displays to modern motherboards that lack native COM ports. The board fits 32-bit or 64-bit PCI and PCI-X slots at 3.3 V or 5 V.

Bandwidth Limit of the PCI Bus

The on-board 16550 UART tops out at 230 Kbps, so the port cannot serve high-speed serial links or multi-drop networks that demand faster throughput. Legacy operating systems from Windows 95 through Server 2003 are supported, but newer releases are not covered by the supplied WHQL driver.

Power-Output Jumpers Decide Compatibility

The card can deliver 5 V or 12 V on the DB-9 connector when the jumper blocks are set accordingly, allowing bus-powered scanners and displays to run without an external adapter. If your device needs a different voltage or draws more current than the slot can supply, this card will not meet the requirement.

Questions about this item

Should I choose the 95/98/ME or NT/2000/XP driver set for this JJ-P01012 card?

The card includes a single WHQL-certified driver CD that covers Windows 95 through Server 2003, so no separate version choice is needed.

What does the 230 Kbps rating mean when I connect a POS scanner to the 9-pin port?

It is the maximum asynchronous throughput the 16550 UART can sustain; real-world rates depend on cable length, device buffering and system interrupt latency.

Will the card fit a 3.3 V PCI-X slot and still deliver 5 V or 12 V to the serial device?

Yes — the board supports 32-/64-bit, 3.3 V/5 V PCI and PCI-X slots, and jumpers select 5 V or 12 V output on pin 9 for powered peripherals.
