BAD PROCESSOR CHIPS?! Does some serial port cards really have bad processor chips? ABSOLUTELY! Unless you invest in a PCI serial card with a quality processor and chipset you will very likely, at some point, experience either a computer freeze, driver errors, being unable to communicate with your serial device or even a BSoD. The reason is that most low-cost PCI serial cards are designed with a low-cost processor which has low-cost poorly written drivers, which obviously results in headaches for the user.
Our Premium RS232 PCI Serial card shown in the image above uses a quality processor (MCS9835) from MosChip Technology/ASIX which provides superior performance and reliability at unmatched data transfer rates. The card adds two high-speed 9-pin serial COM ports to any PCI equipped (unlike USB based) computer with drivers available for Windows XP, Vista, 7, 8, 8.1 and 10 32/64-bit, DOS, Linux and Windows CE.

After installing the downloadable drivers the created COM ports will automatically show up in your operating system's Device Manager as two additional ports. Since these ports are PCI based they can be used as if it was standard built-in COM ports.
Both RS232 serial ports share same IRQ which saves valuable resources if other expansion cards are used. Easy Plug and Play installation automatically configures the next available COM port and IRQ address. COM ports can also easily be renamed within your operating system's Device Manager.
The PCI serial card is an easy and reliable way of adding serial ports to your computer. When shopping for a PCI serial card it is important that you choose a card which is suitable and compatible for your serial device and computer. Of high importance is the chipset of the card. There are many models and brands of chipsets, we recommend a serial PCI card chip from either Moschip or FTDI, these processors have proved to be effective and reliable in most applications.The typical serial card contains one or two serial COM ports however it is also available in multi-port versions.
Once the drivers for the serial card has been successfully installed a COM port will show up in your operating system's Device Manager where you can configure several port settings, if your serial PCI card has good drivers. Some cards with poorly written drivers cannot be configured. The COM port that shows up in Device Manager, created by the serial card and the drivers can be used as if it was a built-in COM port. Since the COM ports created with a serial PCI card are actual physical COM ports, not virtual COM ports, they can be used with almost any serial device, even latency sensitive devices since there are no data delays. Unlike USB based serial cards which due to the virtual COM port drivers have a substantial data delay which can make communication with some sensitive serial devices impossible.
Some low-cost PCI cards has jumpers which needs to be set in order for you to be able to communicate with a particular device. This is kind of old fashioned since most newer serial cards are automatically configured to match your serial device. You will however still be able to adjust several port settings in your operating systems device manager, such as baud rate, data bits and in some cases timing.
I downloaded some similar drivers that worked for me on a Dell Optiplex 755. Keep in mind, the install programs did not want to run, however, once the folder were extracted, I simply pointed the "update driver" option at each directory and it found them quickly both times.(Basically I used any of the Vista 32-bit drivers for the 755 and they worked - including the sound card driver.)Intel AMT HECI A01 R194011.exe Intel AMT SOL/ LMS A01 R194010.exe
PCI is short for Peripheral Component Interconnect that is used to attach hardware devices to a computer and it is a local computer bus. In computing, a serial port is a serial communication interface that can connect a serial device to the PC and is able to transmit one bit at a time.
To connect monitors or printers to the PC, a PCI serial port is required. Although it is replaced by other types of ports and cables, the PCI serial port can always find its place in a computer. A driver is an important part of any system that is used to communicate the hardware and the software. A PCI Serial Port driver is necessary to ensure the peripheral device can be connected properly.
The PCI driver issue is a minor problem but this can bring many troubles if you cannot use specific hardware connected to the PCI serial port. Just try one of the ways as stated above to fix the issue.
