This template is used to populate the Device Infobox with information about a simple IO controller card. See AB-862G Super I∕O Card for example use. As this template sits inside an infobox, it can be combined with other templates in the case of multi-function devices.

Valid parameters and examples specific to this infobox are:

Parameter	Meaning
Serial ports = Value	Number of RS232 ports the device supports, including internal connectors. 0 if none 1 if only one port 2 for two ports, and so on.
UART = Value	Only shown if Serial ports is greater than zero. Text value for the RS232 interface chip. One of: 8250 - original, 1-byte buffer, one interrupt per byte received 16450 - 16550 but with no FIFO buffer 16550 - early 16550 with broken FIFO buffer, effectively a 16450 16550A - fixed 16550 with working FIFO buffer 16650 - early 16650 with broken FIFO buffer 16650V2 - fixed 16650 with working FIFO buffer Add others to this list as needed - try to be as generic as possible, avoiding part names and using interface names instead.
Parallel ports = Value	Number of IEEE1284 (incl. pre-IEEE1284/Centronics) ports the device supports, including internal connectors. 0 if none 1 if only one port 2 for two ports, and so on.
Bi-dir = Value	Only shown if Parallel ports is greater than zero. Boolean value indicating whether the LPT interface can operate in bi-directional mode, perhaps set via a jumper. If Y, the port can send and receive whole bytes in one go over the same eight data lines. If N, the port can only receive bytes in two halves, by re-purposing the four printer status lines.
ECP = Value	Only shown if Parallel ports is greater than zero. Boolean value indicating whether the LPT interface can operate in ECP mode, perhaps set via a jumper. If Y, the port can send and receive whole bytes in one go over the same eight data lines, using the ECP interface. If N, the port may still be able to do this, but not via the ECP method.
EPP = Value	Only shown if Parallel ports is greater than zero. Boolean value indicating whether the LPT interface can operate in EPP mode, perhaps set via a jumper. If Y, the port can send and receive whole bytes in one go over the same eight data lines, while using ISA DMA to minimise CPU usage. If N, the port may still be able to transfer whole bytes at the same time, but it cannot make use of DMA to reduce CPU utilisation.
Game ports = Value	Number of game ports (PC-style joystick ports) the device supports, including internal connectors. 0 if none 1 if only one port 2 for two ports, and so on.
