The QuadraLink serial expansion board is a nifty piece of
hardware that provides four more serial ports for NuBus equipped
Macs. The QuadraLink cdev allows you to "shadow" one of the QL
ports to either the printer or modem port. This still limits
you to two active serial ports at a time. Apps that recognize
the card can have all ports going at the same time (great for BBS's).

The QL init software creates eight I/O drivers for each QL card
that it finds (four input, four output). If you want to open a
serial port on the card, and you know the card is in slot $C, then
the output driver name would be "QuadraLink Port 1OutC" and the
input driver name would be "QuadraLink Port 1InC". The "1" is the
port number (from 1 to 4) and "C" is the slot number (from 9 to E).

Finding the card is a simple matter of examining the NuBus slot
resources and looking for the name "QuadraLink"

Hope this helps...
