Single Port RS232 Serial Comms PCMCIA Card - SL232
The SL232 offers a convenient way to add a single RS232 asynchronous serial port to your laptop, PDA, or desktop (using one of Elan's Desktop PCMCIA adapters). The card automatically configures to become another COM port using the built-in O.S. drivers that are tried and tested and are optimized to work in the Windows environment.
