I haven't heard much from multi-port card owners. Too bad, as I'm about to
become one. As far as I know, there are 3 "normal" (serial and/or
parallel) I/O boards available — The Pre'spect Multiface (2S, 2P), The
GVP I/O Extender (2S, 1P), and Commodore's A2232 (7S, no Parallel).
I don't know which has the best compatability, but GVP has a reputation
for fighting with their cards until they work right. The main problem
would be the printer port. Some programs refuse to be redircted. If only
C= had done printer support the way they did serial support. A
"printer.device" would come in handy about now…..
