I agree with Victor. There is no "Standard" serial to parallel
conversion.

Think about the timing of things. Think about the complexity of serial
hand shaking, and all the various flavors of serial communications that
a standard like RS-422 entail.

The only thing standard is the connectors and the signal levels.

Any/Every device of this ilk that has attempted to be universal and
standard has ALWAYS had issues in some configurations.
