About this product
The Sunix MIO4089AM PCI expansion card adds reliable legacy connectivity to modern systems by providing 2 x RS232 serial ports and 2 x parallel ports on a single PCI card. Designed for industrial and commercial environments, it supports high speed data transfer, advanced FIFO buffering, and robust ESD protection for stable long term operation.
Overview Summary
Sunix MIO4089AM 2 Port Serial x 2 Port Parallel PCI Card
The Sunix MIO4089AM is a professional grade PCI interface card engineered for systems that require dependable serial and parallel communication. It combines 2 x RS232 serial ports using a 16C550 compatible controller with 2 x parallel ports supporting SPP, BPP, ECP, and EPP modes. This makes it ideal for integrating legacy peripherals into 32-bit and 64-bit PCI systems.
Powered by the Sunix Matrix UL7522EQ chipset, the card delivers serial speeds up to 115.2 Kbps and parallel throughput up to 2.7 Mbps. Advanced hardware and software FIFO buffering ensures smooth data flow, while high level ESD protection enhances durability in electrically noisy environments. The card requires 2 PCI slots and supports both 3.3V and 5V PCI signaling.
The majority of today's motherboards is not equipped with any RS-232 or parallel port. With SUNIX MIO4089AM Multi I/O board, users can expand 2 RS-232 and 2 IEEE1284 parallel ports to their system, allowing them to use serial and parallel devices further. SUNIX MIO4089AM is compatible with both 32/64-bit PCI architecture supporting 3.3 and 5V Bus, allowing the board to be installed in virtually any PC system. Furthermore, SUNIX MIO4089AM Multi-IO card supports majority of the OS on the market. We provide driver support for Microsoft Windows 32/64-bit platform, WinCE, Linux 2.2.x ~ 2.6.x kernels, making it the best and most economical solution for commercial and industrial applications.
Description
The Sunix MIO4089AM PCI card is built to extend system connectivity where legacy serial and parallel interfaces are still required. Its dual RS232 serial ports are based on a 16C550 compatible controller, ensuring wide software compatibility and stable communication with existing devices.
The parallel ports support multiple operation modes including SPP, BPP, ECP, and EPP, allowing flexible integration with printers and specialized hardware. With combined hardware and software FIFO buffering, the card minimizes data loss and improves transmission reliability during sustained workloads.
Designed for professional deployment, the card features comprehensive ESD protection including 15KV air gap discharge and 8KV contact discharge compliance. This makes it well suited for industrial, commercial, and embedded environments where electrical interference is common.
