I'm looking for a solution to connect 6 serial lines to a VxWorks
environment. I'd like to get a separate serial I/O expansion card with 6-8
channels, provided that a driver is available - I don't have time to write
one myself. Has anyone done this? My alternative would be to get one of
those code-operated N-way switcher boxes that let you connect to only one
of the channels at a time - this would be sufficient but not very elegant.
