My observation is that the motherboards for desktop/tower
computers are having less and less slots as time goes by. My
main mail/messaging/internet computer has 5 slots, all filled
(three dual-port-RS-232 cards, dual-head video card, one spare
that was used for USB port expansion). Most of those which I
have seen now are three-slot boards. The RS-232 ports run two
TNCs and three software-defined non-ham monitor receivers.
I run my Ham Stuff (tm) from a HP laptop with USB hubs and
USB-to-multi-RS232 adapters. Runs the K2, the RigBlaster Plus
interface and USB iMic sound card plus three TNCs.
Works just fine.
