Product NewsThunderbolt 4 Rackmount and Tower Industrial Computers from DuroPC — With Full PCI/PCIe Expansion
Rackmount computers with a Thunderbolt interface are hard to find. DuroPC offers several, in 2U, 3U, 4U and tower configurations, each keeping the PCI and PCIe expansion slots that industrial and test-and-measurement systems depend on.
Choosing a TAA-Compliant Replacement That Keeps Your Existing I/O
A procurement requirement narrows which machines you can buy. It does not make your interface card work in one. What to check before a TAA-compliant replacement turns into a bench full of cards that no longer fit.
Do Modern Industrial PCs Still Have a Parallel Port?
Parallel ports are gone from consumer PCs but still ship on industrial computers. Why a USB adapter often fails, how DuroPC provides a native LPT port, and which machines offer one.
Technical GuidesResolving IRQ Sharing Conflicts on PCIe Expansion Cards Using MSI Interrupts
When multiple PCIe devices enumerate to the same legacy IRQ and Device Manager won't reassign them, Message Signaled Interrupts are the fix — where the hardware supports them. The diagnostic approach and per-device registry procedure, from a documented field case.
Case StudiesRetiring the Card Cage: Distributed Real-Time PCIe I/O for Defense Automated Test Stands
A defense contractor replaced legacy VXI/VME card cages with a distributed fleet of DuroPC rackmount systems — 30+ PCIe cards linked into one deterministic real-time I/O domain over PCIe Non-Transparent Bridging, under IntervalZero RTX64.
Case StudiesDDC AceXtreme 1553 Card Causing Random Reboots? How DuroPC Fixed an MCTP PCIe Instability in the BIOS
A DDC AceXtreme MIL-STD-1553 PCIe card triggered random full-system reboots under bus load on RHEL 8. The root cause was MCTP PCIe traffic the stock BIOS couldn't disable — so DuroPC engineered a per-slot MCTP disable option into the firmware.
Technical GuidesThe Difference Between PCIe x1, x4, x8, x16 and x32
PCIe connections vary by dedicated data lanes, each providing independent bandwidth unlike earlier shared architectures.
