The WCH PCI Express Parallel/Serial driver version 1.3.2014.3 provides support for PCI Express expansion cards equipped with WCH serial and parallel port controllers. These adapters add legacy COM (RS-232) and LPT connectivity to desktop computers, allowing older peripherals and industrial equipment to work with newer systems.
The driver is supplied as a Windows CAB package and supports both 32-bit and 64-bit editions of Windows 10.
