Since the first beta version of the new driver I've kept a compiled in
limitation of 24 ports simply cuz I didn't think it was likely that anyone
would be able to get more than 24 serial lines out the back of their
machine.

So, that'd work out to 3 Twin-X each to 2 Serial/4's. 

Since the very same driver works with the Dual Serial Board, you can have
as many as 10 of those ports on an A2000. 

BTW: I am told our DOS handlers are almost done which will allow ser:
and aux: functionality over multiple ports.
