INTENDED USE
The PCI Express I/O card uses the latest PCI Express interface standard for expan-
sion buses, which allows it to be installed in any PCI Express-capable desktop PC.
Most of the latest motherboards no longer have any of the older serial or parallel
ports. By using this card, the end user can add serial and parallel ports to their
computer to connect appropriate devices. The PCI Express I/O card offers perfor-
mance with unrivalled data transfer rates, making it ideal for industrial applications.
