I have had some problems with them but they have been rather reliable
... the I am using four of the CY-8 PCI version.. at first there
were some problems with the boards loosing half of their ports..
this seems to have gone away with the versions.. I am currently
using them as console ports for my mainframes.. it allows me to
connect to that machine, use watch and then be on the console. This
is of great benefit.
