This was one of my big concerns, since I want to have such toys as GPS, IrDA,
a port to connect my PalmPilot, and would like to have an extra port for
things like router configuration, so I have done some research in this area,
and found these boards... What I really want to do is mount both the parvus
2 serial/1 NE2000 and the Diamond Systems 4 serial port board, giving myself
plenty of serial ports for everything I could possibly use (I hope =). If
any hardware-oriented people out there see a problem with this, let me know,
I'm a software guy at heart....
