If you have a spare slot in the PC, you can always purchase a dual-port serial
card. That's what I did for my WinXP PC that came
with no serial ports. They are fairly inexpensive now days. A check at
CompUSA's web site turned up a 4-port board for $44.99 (Item
Number: C250-2276), along with several others that were available.

Subject: [digitalradio] Not enough Serial Ports
Questions: I am using an old IBM with Windows 98 operating system. The
computer has two usb ports and one DB9 serial port. This is what I want
to hook up. An MFJ-1275 sound card adapter. I also want to run HAM
Radio Deluxe and control to radios with the CAT interface. A Yaesu FT-
920 HF and a FT-847 both is CAT capable.
I would like to study
CAT on the 920 847 two serial reports required I have one on the
computer?
MFJ-1275 to be used on both radios I am thinking a Patch Bay. I will
move the cables if needed.
I have allot of items that require a serial port and only one, a switch
to switch the Items to the one port. Or is there a better way.
Can someone help the old Gunny KC8SXG Barry
