- I have purchased several DOUBLE-COM boards from National Computer
- Accessories, 769 N 16th St, Ste 200, Sacramento, CA 95814,
- (916) 441-1568. At $8.99 each they have 2 serial, 1 parallel, and 1 game
- port. All ports may be disabled. The documentation is good. Com ports
- 1 through 4, and LPT1 & 2 are supported.
