I run 7 serial ports (9 if you want to count the two USB-to-serial converters) on my Win XP PC without any conflict. Of course, the key is to choose the right multiport cards. I use the single on-board port and three Quatech DSC-100 cards (I don't have any financial interest in Quatech, I just like their products which are not cheap). I also run 6 USB devices (4 on-board ports and a 7-port hub in one of them). (Lists of devices available for the curious.) -- 73 de K2ASP - Phil Kane Elecraft K2/100 s/n 5402 _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: Elecraft@mailman.qth.net You must be a subscriber to post to the list.
