You're welcome!

NES Inc., the people who brought out the A2000 Proto Board that also plugs
into the PC-AT connectors, have designed an 8 Port Serial Board for the
A2000 and it is in layout as I write this.  This board out of the box will
support 110 thru 38400 baud on all 8 ports.  Port count is determined in
the MountList, looking at unused ports is a waste of system resources.
Port baud rates are adjustable on the fly.  Supports Tx and Rx independent
baud rates.  It supports RTS, CTS, DSR, and DTR -or- CD.  The 8 Port Serial
board is designed to allow furure expansion (by adding one or more additional
8 Port boards into your A2000.) so that a BBS say can have up to as many
as 24 active 1200/2400 baud sessions going at a time.  Pricing is TBD and
store shelf date, target, is June 89.
