PCIe x1 parallel controller

This PCIe x1 expansion card adds a single DB25 parallel port to a desktop system. It uses the WCH382L chip and complies with the PCI Express 1.0a specification at 2.5 GT/s. The board provides a native LPT interface for legacy peripherals.

Industrial and legacy I/O users

The card suits engineers maintaining ARM JTAG cables, Altera or Xilinx FPGA download tools, or industrial printers that still require a parallel port. It is not for builds that need multiple parallel ports or a low-profile bracket, as only one DB25 connector is fitted.

1.5 MB/s maximum throughput

The single parallel port transfers data at up to 1.5 MB/s and supports SPP, PS2, EPP and ECP modes under IEEE 1284. Driver support covers 32-bit and 64-bit Windows from 98 SE through Windows 8 and Server 2012, plus Linux.

Questions about this item

Will the TeKit IO-PCE382-1P work in a PCIe 2.0 or 3.0 x1 slot alongside older cards?

Yes, the card uses a PCI Express x1 lane interface compliant with the 1.0a specification and is backward compatible with newer PCIe slots.

How can I verify the WCH382L controller is operating at the correct 2.5 GT/s link speed after installation?

Check the device properties in your OS; the link should report PCIe 1.0a x1 at 2.5 GT/s and the parallel port should show a 1.5 MB/s transfer rate.

Does the package include a low-profile bracket or only the standard bracket shown?

The box contains the PCIe parallel card, an English manual and a driver CD-ROM; no low-profile bracket is listed.
