Good card plus continued support

Bought this just under two years ago to keep my beloved HP LaserJet 5 going. I fitted it myself (and I'm not famously good at hardware!) and it's been absolutely fine. I've just had to reinstall Win7 from scratch, and the OS didn't install the driver for the card, but it took me less than two minutes to find this page, download the driver and install it. Excellent.

Built on a native single-chip design (Oxford OXPCIe952), this adapter leverages the full potential of PCI Express, guaranteeing optimal performance and reliability.

This high-performance SPP/EPP/ECP parallel card introduces an additional DB25 parallel port to your system.

It supports SPP, EPP, and ECP communication modes, ensuring maximum compatibility with your parallel peripherals. Whether you need to connect printers, scanners, CD-R/RWs, Zip drives, or memory card readers, this adapter card has you covered.
