5 out of 5 eggsGreat for Linux

This review is from: StarTech 4 Port Native PCI Express RS232 Serial Adapter Card with 16550 UART Model PEX4S553

Pros: All four ports have header connections.
Includes low profile brackets.
Kernel module source code available on StarTech's website.

Cons: None.

Other Thoughts: What can I say, StarTech never dissapoints. I always look to them for odd hardware like this that works in Linux. Had trouble locating the source code for the MosChip on this card to compile the kernel module. Decided just to look on StarTech's website vs. MosChip's website and there it was waiting for download! Compiled fine and a reboot later I had a working card. Also, all four ports have header/ribbon cable connections to the card which makes this perfect for people like me who like to add hombrew controllers internally in the case and need to "hi-jack" the connection to the port to do so; leaving the only external item as the remote device connected to the port. I loved this card so much I just purchased my 4th one. I do hope StarTech keeps this card in production for a long time as it is the only one I can find like it and I plan on purchasing more down the road.
