This unit
The Comtrol 99365-0 RocketPort uPCI Universal 8-Port Low Profile Serial Port Expansion Card adds eight software-selectable RS-232 or RS-422 serial ports to any PCI-based computer system. Built for space-constrained installations, this half-height card integrates a 36 MHz RISC processor and Comtrol's custom ASIC to handle asynchronous serial communications while minimizing host CPU load. The card operates across all current 3.3 V and 5.0 V PCI bus architectures, supporting both 32-bit and 64-bit slot configurations.
