Reviews & Ratings for 2 Port Native PCI Express RS232 Serial Adapter Card with 16950 UART
At last: Something to justify those little X1 PCI-Express slots.

As serial ports become rarer on modern motherboards, here's a solution that also makes use of those previously mysterious and useless X1 slots.

I needed a serial port, and the particular application would not work with most of the USB-to-Serial adapters available (An Infra-Red Blaster to control a satellite receiver).

This card solved my problem perfectly, and cheaply, without forcing me to remove something from my otherwise full motherboard.

If it matters to you, it works with Linux.

What more could I ask for?
