Roy,
 I am not about to change the motherboard on this new 'puter.Hi!
I have an adapter on order and it is said to work well on windows 7...
It should be here today.
I'll let the board know when I get it sorted out. 
Thanks for the info!

If you don't like my signature, well, I am sorry. But I will use it because it is what I believe.

Tom,

I think for now you can probably get away with one of the USB/RS-232
adapters that are on eBay, I saw some for less than five dollars with free
shipping. That would be a whole lot cheaper than changing out the
motherboard in that new machine for one with multiple PCI slots.
