We've just shipped the first production units of a new serial communication product, the eight-port RS-232 PCIe-COM232-8L.
This great new board is tiny! Much smaller than the competition, it meets the MD1 size specification for Low-Profile PCI and PCI-Express cards.
In addition, this board is fully compatible with 16550 /16750 UARTS and applications, no 3rd-party drivers necessary.
This compatibility ensures any and every operating system is supported, right out of the box! Linux, Windows, even DOS programs, can use this unit without installing any additional drivers or software.
Speeds of up to 921.6kBaud, MD1 Low-Profile, PCI Express, Large FIFO Size, Eight RS-232 ports -- and an incredible low price -- make the PCIe-COM232-8L an instant winner.
ACCES I/O Products has been serving PC-Based Data Acquisition and Control devices since 1987 (incorporated 1992) and is proud to introduce another method of keeping in touch with our customers - the ACCES I/O Blog.

The Early Web
Here's the very first web page ACCES put online, back in 1996.
Only two months later we redesigned the page -- definitely an improvement
A few more changes have gone by in the thirteen years since our first website designs, and we're proud of that progress. But things change, and we're continuing to advance our web presence every day.
Keep checking back to see the new things happening at accesio.com

How we got our name
ACCES I/O Products, Inc.
"ACCES"? That's not spelled right!
Well, actually it's an acronym.
Way back in 1987 or so, several years before we became incorporated, ACCES had a different name: Acquisition Control Communication Engineering / Systems.
As you can imagine that's a little unwieldy, so we were putting ACCES on our letterhead.
In 1992 when we incorporated, we chose to make the acronym official, and call ourselves "ACCES" -- but that name is fairly common in other parts of the world, as it is the correct spelling of "access" in french, for example.
In order to distinguish ourselves from the mere word acces, our chosen name became "ACCES I/O Products, Inc."
Still a little unwieldy, isn't it? We call ourselves "ACCES I/O" for short.

Tweaking a Design
In addition to our ~300 COTS products, we have a database of almost 700 "specials".
These Specials (designated by -Sxx numbers appended to a standard part number) are modifications to the base product that a customer, like yourself, asked us to make in order to tweak a design to fit their specific application better.
This broad database of "predesigned specials" is proof positive of our ability and willingness to serve the needs of our customers.
-- if you don't see a product in our broad lineup that perfectly suits your application, just call our Application Engineers -- with so many Specials already designed, and so many years worth of experienced engineers, you won't believe how easy - and inexpensive - it is to satisfy any requirement!

Broad Product Selection - and custom!
Another fine thing is our dedication to service on the design side of things.
ACCES has almost 300 COTS products available for sale.
Most of these products began life as custom-engineering projects to satisfy the requirements of a single customer. When we take on engineering projects we try to save our customers as much money as possible, and one of the ways we can do that is by developing a product we know we'll be able to sell to the general public as well as the custom application that inspired it. This allows us to amortize the NRE costs across future sales to other people, greatly reducing the costs to the specific customer that needs a solution now.
This broad COTS product line, developed over the course of just ~22 years, demonstrates our hardware design prowess. If you need a data acquisition solution and can't find anything like it on our website, let us know.
