My Tandy 6000, which has been merrily chugging along doing mostly troff to
an HP laserjet, got a nasty case of amnesia after crashing during a power
failure a few weeks ago. After cleaning out about 7 years of dirt and dust,
it still couldn't boot xenix, although it ran trsdos fine (the first time
I've used that). Pulling my 3-port serial card brought the machine back to
good health.
There is nothing *OBVIOUS* wrong with the card, but I have no schematics,
etc. So, the big question is how do I go about fixing the serial card or
getting another? I don't want to invest too much money in the system, but I
might be willing to buy another system just to ensure I'll always be able to
keep one running... it makes a nice troff server for my other unix box. :-)

PS: One of the two built-in serial ports died many years ago... I'd also
appreciate any comments on how to fix that.
