Well, I finally have some extra cash to spend, and I'd like more than one
functioning serial port on my NetBSD system. I'm looking for
recommendations on multiport serial boards. The ideal board should have
at least 4 ports, maybe expandable to 8, use the higher IRQs, have 16550s
with working FIFOS, have full modem control lines on all the ports, be
usable under NetBSD-0.9 and -current, and cost less than $20 US. Ok,
well, that cheap isn't necessary, but definately under $200 US is the
price range I'm looking at.
If there are enough "Me Too!" responses, I'll post a summary.
Thanks,
ja.
