- That would probably cause errors and/or blown equipment.

- I've wondered why no one has designed a serial port and cable that works

- connectors 0 through 3, which would have the different serial lines. You
- should be to do at least 2 different serial ports on one 25 pin connector.

- Anyone know if this would cause to much cross noise on the different
- serial lines?
