- The MP-002 card costs just over $100 thru T.T.C. Computer Products at
- 214-594-8103. Now a dealer friend of mine got me the card ... I understand
- that they sell to dealers only, but give it a try.
-
- You select a single IRQ (I use IRQ2) by a DIP switch. Port I/Os are
- selected the same way (I used the factory defaults ... there are 23
- possibilities, also DIP switch selected). UARTs are socketted 16450s.
-
- I am running an MSYS system with the card ... COM1 is a 2400 baud LL
- BBS port, COM2 is a 9600 baud UHF port, (COM3 - COM7 are using the MP-002
- card), COM3 is a 300 baud HF port, COM4 is a 1200 baud VHF port. I am not
- using COM5 or COM6 at this time but I have checked the operation of all
- 6 ports running at the same time and it does just FB!
-
- The MP-002 replaced an MS400 card in my system. I cannot prove it but
- I think the MP-002 is faster. It is certainly an easier solution to
- adding COMs since it works right out the box.
-
- For the record ... I am in NO WAY associated with this company. I just
- happened to run accross this product and thought it would be of interest
- to the PACKET community (at least).
-
- I confess that I have not tried this using BPQ but see no reason why it
- would not work ... since it works FB with MSYS.
-
- Let me know if you get one and what you think.
