- After fussing with Coherent for far too long, I have decide
- to build my intelligent serial interface board. I intend to
- design in enough memory so that each port can have a really
- deep FIFO, and thus Coherent will never have to miss characters
- again. I was planning to create a wire-wrap board, a printed
- circuit board would be much better. Unfortunately, creating
- a single printed circuit board is expensive.
- So once I decided to do this, I thought that others might
- be interested in such a beast. So, if you'd be interested
- in an intelligent multi-port serial board for the ISA bus,
- send me mail indicating your desired specifications for the
- board. This should include number of ports, FIFO depth,
- and cost. If I have enough interest, I'll go ahead and
- do the PC board.
