The RT we have has two serial ports on the motherboard (planar in IBM
wording).  We also have a four port ASYNC adapater, giving us a total
of six ports.  Can I now plug in a standard AT 2 port serial card? If
so, will there be any conflicts with interrupts and such.  I suspect
that the slots are AT compatible, but that it is not really a bus. In
other words, each slot is separate, and two identical cards plugged
into different slots will not necessarily interfere with one another.

Comments?  Suggestions?
