- Yeah, but most of us can't afford, or can't justify, spending as much on
- our serial I/O as you obviously do. I'm sure your Digiboard CX (is that
- right?) setup cost you more than my 486-33 motherboard with 16MB of memory
- cost me combined (~$1200). I think I can afford to waste a few cycles on
- my serial I/O.

- You're comparing apples and oranges here.
