I need to purchase a serial board for an IBM AT compatable computer
that has at least 2 com ports and is able to work on ports other than
COM1 and COM2. Does anyone know where I can purchase something like
this. Looking through the latest issue of PC magazine, all I can find
is serial boards that can be used on COM1 & COM2 or multifunction cards.
Thanks

Just about all serial/serial cards can be configured as COM3 and COM4 as well as COM1 and COM2. Just sure the IRQ's and interrupt addresses can be configured for your system. Because COM3 and COM4 standards were not defined in the initial IBM PC, many systems use IRQ lines and interrupt addresses that are not what is commonly use today.
