Galen, Okay. I'm now reading about PCIe to understand the technology.
That said, if you really have square pins on the motherboard for a serial port, that's the best choice. Free Geek might have the appropriate ribbon cable to DB9 with backplate. If not, I may have what you need. Beware, though, that there are two common pinouts. You should confirm that the square pins are present and what the pinout is.
Tomorrow I'm shutting down the system and replacing the video card and CPU cooler. I'll check the serial port then. Thanks, Rich _______________________________________________ PLUG mailing list [email protected] http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
