 PCI Card October 30, 2008
Wally Lazkani (CT, USA)
I have returned it back because my printer did not work on it. So, I can not say if it is good or not.
 A little tricky to install - seems to work great August 5, 2008
Jimp (Tennessee)
Installed a couple of these in a pair of new Dell Vostro 200s. Running XP Pro with service pak 3 and IE 7.0. Seem to work fine with our older DOS programs that are very inflexible about where they will send output.
Installation was a little tricky. Came with an install disk marked version 6.2 but the subdirectories on the disk dont match the install book that came with the board. After a little experimentation I found the best way to install was to put in the board and attach the printer. Turn on PC and Cancel out of auto detect and go to Control Panel - Add hardware. When the install driver screen comes up, go to search specific location and tell it d:\io\pci io\whql driver for 2k_xp_2003. It will install and activate the port.
When installed it will be set to lpt3 so go to Control Panel - System, and select Hardware then Device Manager. Look down the device list for ports and double click on the PCI EPP/ECP Parallel port. On the device tab that comes up go to port settings and choose - Never use interupt, and then choose - Enable PnP detection. Set the port to LPT1 if desired.
Next go to Printers and Faxes off of the Start menu and choose add printer. Select the port you used above and then choose your printer and intall as usual.
Anyway, thats what worked for me. So far so good. Good luck.
 Works flawlessly on Win95 May 24, 2008
Brent Hilgenkamp (Nebraska)
Used this card on a Windows 95 machine that needed another printer installed on it. I forgot that a driver CD came with it, so I went to the company's website to download the driver. Everything installed fine the first try. The company website seemed very legit - not one of those cheap manufacturers that sells cards and offers no place for you to go when you have problems. Would highly recommend this card.
No problems here April 29, 2008
T. Miller (Atlanta, GA USA)
Some reviewers indicated a problem getting this product to work. I had no issues getting it installed and working. Just make sure you have an open PCI slot on your motherboard and that you insert the card fully and properly. I would buy this product again should the need arise.
