User manual QUATECH SSPX DATASHEET

[. . . ] Serial & Parallel ExpressCards SSPX, SSPXP, DSPXP, QSPXP & SPPXP Series Advantages of a PCIe-based ExpressCard design are in the interface to the laptop's motherboard. [. . . ] Quatech's PXP series is a great solution to connect with existing peripherals and maintain compatibility and functionality with their current application software. The SSPX-100 is a cost effective solution to adding a single serial port to mobile systems. The SSPX is a usb-based design that will function similarly to USB to serial cables. Quatech also sells and supports other ExpressCard connectivity products, including hard drive eSATA 2. 0 and Ethernet configurations. KEY FEATURES New generation of I/O expansion for notebooks Adds 1, 2 or 4 high-speed serial ports; 1 true parallel port Support PCI Express Base Specification Revision 1. 1a Installs in any ExpressCard slot Built-in 1024-byte FIFOs buffers increase data transmit/receive speed Baud rates up to 921. 6kbps Hot plugging and hot swapping features High speed ExpressCard with plug-n-play Supports Windows XP/Vista operating systems Performance Line Technology ExpressCard technology is emerging with faster speeds and better efficiency than the typical PCMCIA and PC Cards, connecting high-bandwidth peripherals to notebooks and other portables. The ExpressCard's credit-card like format gives way to a smaller, faster and more desktop-friendly format. Gone are the days of laptops manufactured with PC Card slots and are swapped out with smaller, slimmer and thinner ExpressCard portals. Quatech's Serial ExpressCard line supersedes older technology and are engineered for new laptop models. Quatech's ExpressCards are designed in the smallest form factor -34.
