HP 24541-60031 8-Bit ISA Vectra Dual Serial RS-232 Interface Card DB-9 DB-25 XT
The HP 24541-60031 is an 8-bit ISA dual serial interface card designed for HP Vectra personal computers. It adds two RS-232 serial COM ports to the system via a DB-9 (9-pin) and a DB-25 (25-pin) connector on the bracket, providing connections for serial peripherals such as mice, modems, terminals, and plotters. The card uses a VLSI controller IC and is manufactured in France.

Applications
8-bit ISA serial interface cards like the HP 24541-60031 were standard expansion hardware for PC/XT and early AT-compatible systems from the mid-1980s through the early 1990s, and remained in use on legacy industrial and scientific workstations well into the 1990s. In HP Vectra systems, dual serial cards of this type provided the COM port connections needed for serial mice, external modems, serial terminals, label printers, plotters, and RS-232-based test and measurement instruments. The 8-bit ISA form factor was the universal expansion bus of the IBM PC/XT era, and cards like this remain sought after today for restoring or maintaining HP Vectra systems, vintage PC setups, and legacy industrial control environments that depend on RS-232 connectivity.
This HP 24541-60031 8-bit ISA Dual Serial Interface Card has been inspected and appears to be in good used condition. The PCB is clean with no visible cracks, burnt components, or damaged traces. The DB-25 and DB-9 bracket connectors show light wear consistent with normal use and removal. The card was pulled from an HP Vectra system environment. No cables or accessories are included.
