ByteRuner makes some pretty good products also. I've had a pci 2 serial and
1 lpt card combo for over 10 years now, and still running strong. It's been
in and out of a lot of different computers. The XP drivers work fine also.
But as time marches on, I think we are all going to have to use the USB to
serial adapters.Time marches on. But, I'm still hanging on to my 3 low
speed Pentiums with ISA ports as "spares" also.
