1. The LSI (Lab Systems Integrator, for the curious) wasn't a card - it was a "black box" multiplexer that allowed up to 8 lab devices to share "concentrated" serial communications through a single serial port on the server computer system.
2. General Digital stopped manufacturing the LSIs circa 1998, so feel free to ignore anything you read about them - production-wise, they no longer exist. 3. If you're still requiring serial communications interface capability, you might take a look at Data Innovations ( http://www.datainnovations.com/) - their Instrument Manager system can fill the bill pretty well, if I recall correctly.
