I would like some help identifying this board… I've been told it is a Twin-X board, and it does say this as well as ASDG right on the plastic. It has a serial port module installed on it. Could someone please tell me what this thing is for… are there any other uses for it, how much it is worth… where can I get modules, and what kind of driver does it use??? Thanks for any and all support!!!

With the module that you apparently have installed, it is functionally identicle to an ASDG Dual Serial Board. The same driver will work. The twin-x board is no longer commercially available. You can add other modules to it but you'd have to come up with driver software yourself. tech support

Thanks for the quick response! I heard that it was a standard GPIB. That is, it could support scanners, parallel cards, I/O cards, etc… Do you know where modules are available at for this board? Is there anything comparable on the MS/DOS side? Thanks again… I sold it to a guy for $150, he thinks it was a poor deal since it only is a dual serial… anyhow, that's what I figured it was worth, even as only a dual serial.

A GPIB module can be added to that board – and it could be used to drive GPIB scanners, etc. I don't think we have any modules left, but if it were required, we could look. The standard these modules follow is actually from the INTEL side of computing. There are dozens of modules available from companys which probably have never heard of the Amiga. ASDG Tech Support

Thanks again. I guess the guy will have to make do… I think $150 was a fair price for the board. I will pass this information on to him for sure… Steve
