- Serial port cards as SCSI devices are not unknown. They are available in
- Computer Schlocker. Try any non-PeaSea exclusive store. I was toying with
- the idea for my A3000 but the lack of a driver and the money to experiment
- has kept the idea unrealized. I often wondered if Terminus would work
- though by just changing serial.device to scsi.device. Passing the correct
- device and LUN (Logical Unit Number - they ususally have several serial
- ports on each device/card) would be the hangup, I think..... ;)
