There is one parallel port, one serial (RS-232) port ^^^^^^^^^^ >and one Appletalk (RS-422) port. Is the serial port driver compatible with the recently posted CBM Multi-Serial Specification? Will programs be able to use the serial port by just changing the UNIT and possibly the DEVICE? Does the driver support ALL the features of the "standard" serial device, so that program that use that device will be able to run with no changes (save for the DEVICE and UNIT)? ASDG's boards do this already, so anything less would clearly limit the board usefulness and marketability. -- Marco Papa 'Doc' -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= uucp:...!pollux!papa BIX:papa ARPAnet:pollux!papa@oberon.usc.edu "There's Alpha, Beta, Gamma and Diga!" -- Leo Schwab [quoting Rick Unland] -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
