Who ARE they, anyway!?! I personally bought a 2 serial/1 par. adapter for
under $100. Many people complain about the Delta$ between AT bus cards
and MCS cards, but I have been watching this price difference continue
to diminish rapidly. The only cards I have NOT seen is 1.) Sound blaster
compatible, and 2.) a MULTIfunction card that includes a game port. But
I've NEVER seen an AT bus card that has that data transfer rate capabilities
of the MCA bus. (just a side note . . )
