This is a card that has two high speed 16650 Serial ports on it. Yes, that's right 16650. The card itself is a 16 bit card that has I/O ports at COM1..COM8. It claims to have support for 115200 OR 230400 or 460800 baud. Well, the rates higher than 115200 are reserved to software developers. So, has anybody heard of this puppy? BTW, the following I/O bases are listed: COM1 3f8 COM2 2f8 COM3 3e8 COM4 2e8 COM5 2f0 COM6 3e0 COM7 2e0 COM8 260 Looking at the card, it also supports most of the IRQ lines. However, the small tab of the card only has IRQ pins, so I'm not sure if it decodes 16bit addresses, or can do 16bit data transfers. Has anybody tried to use this card in their machine??? Did it work? Does anybody know what a 16*6*50 is? How is it different than a 550? Warner
