Lines: 13 I think that the most expensive part of a serial board IS the software. On the IBM you just stick a chip or two on a bus and let it go. On the Amiga you have a "real" bus to deal with and you have to write software to support it. In fact, I think whoever had the best software will win the serial card competition. By the way, I'm told that the ASDG board is shipping and doing very well. Is anyone else shipping yet? -Tom -- Tom Limoncelli -- tlimonce@drunivac.Bitnet -- limonce@pilot.njin.net Drew University -- Box 1060, Madison, NJ -- 201-408-5389 Standard Disclaimer: I am not the mouth-piece of Drew University
