Title: Caused XP Pro Dell Machine to Freeze
Review: Installed this card to add more serial ports to a Dell Dimension 4400 running XP Pro SP3. Install went fine except that it did add an unusable parallel port. I used the ports to print to industrial label printers on a packaging machines. The print job would make it to the printer fine but after sending a print job the processor would immediately jump to 47-60%. Then If you did anything else on the computer it would jump to 100% and freeze. Task Manager was no help and did not show a process consuming the processor. Used the latest drivers available from the manufacturer. I figure it's a driver issue. The board has jumpers on it with no explanation of what they are for and nothing on the web site about them. Solved my problem by purchasing a different brand based on a different chipset. Best Connectivity Multi IO PCI board based on a SystemBase Chipset.
Is the review positive or negative?
