Re: Docking station on a desktop

If you have a open PCI slot, you could save some money by adding a Parallel and Serial PCI Expansion Card, you will need two open slots in the panel on the back of your PC. You check with your local computer store, or a search at Ebay have them for under 20.00 before shipping. I cannot recommend any of the sellers, so you need to check them out yourself.

Here are the results for card on Ebay:

I'm getting a new Dell Dimension 9100 Desktop system. I'm using it with
special equipment that needs the 25 pin printer port and the 9 pin
serial port which neither port is on this computer. I see numerous
posts on docking stations but all seem to be referring to laptop
computers. Any recommendations on a docking station for a desktop, or
do both systems simply use a USB port. I'm confused.
Thanks for any input.
