- TSD Systems [(407) 331-9130] makes a nice board, called the AT I/O card
- w/IDE Controller, for $32.95. It includes 2 serials, 1 parallel, Game I/O,
- floppy controller, and IDE controller. The basic board includes 2 82450s
- on the serial ports, but for $12.95 more, they will replace one with a
- 16550AFN. I got one with 1 16550AFN; the total was $45.95.
- I can't remember off hand whether or not both of the UARTs are socketed.
- (This affects whether or not you can have both of them replaced with 16550s)
-
- I have been very happy with it. I am currently running OS/2 with it; it
- runs my floppies, my tape backup, my hard disk, my printer, and my mouse.
- (The above prices are as of 10/17/91; your mileage may vary)
