[Ham-Computers] my kingdom for a few more serial ports....

[jeff]

We've all heard the story.
Some guy has a bunch of scanners, which he'd like to be controlled from
a singe pc.

The pc in question has two serial ports.  Although this is better than
the new pc's that have one or none, two won't do it.

I know I can buy a few serial ISA boards.  I know I can get those
Digiboards that can run 8 from one card.  Don't have much in the way of
empty slots anyway.

Is there a better way?  I'd like about 5 additional ports.
The board, whose mfgr I have long forgotten, features an AMD K6, 512M
RAM, Windows 2k (might downgrade to XP), and 2 USB(1) ports.



Thanks,
