Thanks Jim, however I do already own several MicroHam interfaces. In fact, the
strike took out my MK 2 which is on the list to be replaced.
I am looking for a MB with one serial port so that I can run my DXP38.

I'm going to go against the crowd on this one. Maybe it would be a good
time to ditch the serial port and get a "modern" USB interface like the
microHAM or West Mountain Radio units. Sure, USB 3.0 is coming down the
line, and eventually USB will be replaced by another bus. I just don't
see the point of holding on to something that was common over 20 years
ago. It's like going into Best Buy and asking for a stereo that still
has a turntable and cassette player.
