Kouwell KW-801V10 PCI SCSI Controller Card 80IV10 Single-Ended SE Host Adapter
The Kouwell KW-801V10 is a PCI-bus SCSI host adapter card designed to add SCSI connectivity to desktop PCs and workstations equipped with a standard PCI slot. It carries the board designation 80IV10 and was manufactured in Taiwan. The card provides a 50-pin external Centronics-style SCSI connector on the rear bracket for attaching external SCSI devices such as scanners, tape drives, and storage enclosures, along with an internal 50-pin header on the PCB for internal SCSI drives.

Applications
PCI SCSI host adapter cards like the KW-801V10 were widely used from the mid-1990s through the early 2000s to connect SCSI peripherals — including hard drives, CD-ROM and tape drives, flatbed scanners, and removable storage units — to desktop PCs that lacked onboard SCSI support. Single-ended SCSI was the dominant standard of that era, supporting device chains of up to seven peripherals at speeds ranging from 5 MB/s (SCSI-1) to 20 MB/s (Fast SCSI-2) depending on the connected devices and cable quality. Cards of this type were common in Windows 95/98/NT workstations and early 2000s systems used in graphic design, digital audio, video editing, and small-office server environments where SCSI's deterministic performance and device-chaining capability were valued over the simpler but slower IDE/ATA alternative. Today these cards remain in demand for legacy system maintenance, retro computing, and connecting vintage SCSI scanners or tape libraries to modern PCs via a PCI slot.
This Kouwell KW-801V10 PCI SCSI Controller Card (80IV10) has been inspected and appears to be in good used condition. The PCB looks clean with no visible damage, cracked components, or burnt areas. The bracket and 50-pin external SCSI connector show light surface wear consistent with prior installation. This is a card-only listing — no SCSI cables or accessories are included.
