In all the questions about ports cards that I've seen over the past
few months, I've never seen the Consensys POWERPORTS card mentioned.
Is *anybody* out there using it?  It supports 8 or 16 ports and
has an on-board NSC32000 for i/o control.  I have one on evaluation
right now -- haven't really put it thru its paces yet, but it seems
pretty good so far.  *Very* easy to install and configure, at least...
Anyway I'd appreciate hearing of any experiences with it (email, or
post if relevant).
