[comp.periphs] dumb PC serial multi-port card

buck@siswat.UUCP (A. Lester Buck) (01/05/90)

I have a project that needs at least six serial ports on a PC bus, but
otherwise requires no compatibility, since I will write whatever necessary.
Could someone suggest a cheap dumb card?  For example, I have heard of the
2681 octal uart.  Is there a company that puts this on a PC card?  Or maybe
one of those new ASICs, but I don't want to pay for a lot of software that I
won't use.  Just looking for something cheap with a little buffering and/or
hardware handshaking.

Thanks alot!
