Some time ago I read about a source for inexpensive multi-port RS-232
cards in this newsgroup.
They were apparently available from a source in Taiwan (I believe), at
around $100+
If anyone remembers the source, address and any other particulars, I would
appreciate receiving it.
Much thanks in advance.

I have a 4-port serial card (all 4 UART's are there) for $89 from Alex Electronics (see Computer Shoppers). Mine is for AT machine, the XT machine version is about $59, I think.

JDR (800-538-5001) has got four-port cards priced at $89, $139, and $199. Price depends on the type of UART provided and software drivers. It doesn't say explicitly in the catalog, but reading between the lines leads me to believe the $199 card can multiplex all four ports on to one IRQ, and the less expensive ones can't. -- John W.
