About PCMCIA Serial Adapter Cards
PCMCIA serial adapter cards provide one or more serial ports for a host computer. They interface with the host computer via a PCMCIA card bus and add RS232, RS422, or other types of serial ports. PCMCIA is an acronym for Personal Computer Memory Card International Association, an organization that establishes standards for the personal computer card, or PC card as it is commonly known. PMCIA serial adapter cards are 16-bit devices designed for modems, network cards, and gaming devices that require communication across a serial bus. A PCMCIA serial adapter card or PCMCIA adapter also provides an interface between a bus that uses serial communications over a COM port to and from the peripheral serial device. This interface is required when there are no serial ports to link the bus with the peripheral controller, as is often the case with notebook computers.
