EPP/Parallel PCMCIA Card
Add a high-speed EPP parallel port to any PCMCIAenabled laptop, handheld, or desktop computer.
Many portable and hand-held computers do not provide a parallel port. When they do, the built-in port often cannot function in EPP mode. Quatech's SPP-100 is an ideal choice in these situations when a high speed parallel interface is required. For example, the SPP-100 is currently being used in several portable medical applications to provide EEG and EKG tests to patients in remote areas who would otherwise need to travel hours to reach the nearest hospital. It is used as part of a real-time scoring system for stock-car racing, and as an interface for an electronic sewing machine. Of course, the most common use is to provide a high-speed printer port when one is not provided by the PC. Quatech's SPP-100 fully supports the IEEE 1284 EPP standard, and functions exactly like a computer's native parallel port. Thus, unlike the many USB to parallel converters on the market, Quatech's SPP-100 will work seamlessly with any hardware or software that requires either an EPP or standard parallel port.
