Buy a board and plug it in - it will give you two (2) serial ports (some
more and some less). Make sure to get a board that will fit your
particular machine.
In my case, I built this machine and included a pair of serial ports and
a Firewire port (tried a Flex radio). Have since removed the Firewire
and trashed it. Talk about something out of the dark ages! Ever hear of
USB3?
I personally feel the manufacturers should keep up with the modern
computer offerings and refrain from using outdated systems to
communicate between their products and a modern computer.
Laptop users are relegated to using a USB converter of some type. I have
a couple that work - still, however, I feel the manufacturer should be
keeping up with the times. If unable to keep up, then supply - at no
charge - whatever adapter is needed. That way, the manufacturer's
provided adapter is guaranteed to work (maybe?).
