Re: Serial port expansion
Title: Re: [ukha_d] Serial port
expansion
Isn't
there a 4 (+) port card anywhere at a reasonable price - ports are
like CAT5 runs - never enough. I could do with one to , pref PCI,
slots are to precious for 2 port cards. I think the cost poss goes up
as the ability to handle so many different interrupts becomes a
problem, do the larger cards handle their ports through just one
interrupt perhaps ? I know some have on board intelligence and
buffering.
I do
have a USB 4 port serial adaptor (£90) on one machine but they
stopped making them in favour of multifunction versions ( 1S 1P +
USB's). Wish I'd bought a couple more.

Don't think this is OT,
but anyway,
I am running W2K and in
desperate need of more serial ports t control all the
gadgets.
Can anyone recommend any add-on cards?. I have looked
at some, but these all seem to be several hundred
pounds?!?!
A card with min of two ports needed, but more would be
better.
Any suggestions? (of any kind)
cheers
John
