The Advantech PCI-1612A-BE is a 4-port RS-232/422/485 PCI Serial Communication Card featuring a DB25 connector. It is compliant with the PCI bus specification 2.1 and offers communication speeds up to 921.6 kbps. The card utilizes 16PCI954 UARTs with 128-byte FIFOs as standard. It supports automatic I/O address assignment via PCI Plug & Play and is compatible with operating systems including Windows® 98/ME/2000/XP and Linux®. The design includes an interrupt status register for enhanced performance and automatic RS-485 data flow control. This model appears to use a DB37 connector, although one source mentions DB25 in the title for the -BE variant specifically, and another mentions DB37-F for the general PCI-1612A series. The PCI-1612A series generally supports Universal PCI (3.3 V or 5 V bus signal).
