Interesting. I wonder if that's the same issue with my Syba serial card. I haven't been able to get my touchscreen going. It outputs a few seconds of data then just stops. Won't work again until after a reboot but then gives the same results.

I intended to update this sooner, but I've had a lot going on. We are fully on the new system now, so here it is... There were actually a couple of separate issues going on which made it difficult to figure out exactly where the problem was. First, the Rosewill RC-301 PCI serial card just doesn't want to work with CentOS 6.4. I tried a handful of things and never could get any activity out of it. The specs claim Linux support, but I never had any luck. Secondly, I mistakenly set up my switcher in Rivendell as a BroadcastTools 8X2, which is not the same thing as a BroadcastTools 8.2. This explains why when I dropped in a known compatible card, the SIIG CyberPro S4, I saw serial data coming out of the card, but I couldn't get Rivendell to actually change channels. Thirdly, there does appear to be some kind of bug in the Appliance v2 involving serial ports. Even now, on Rivendell 2.8.0, when I reboot the new system, the serial ports don't work at first. They seem to not be enabled or connected in Rivendell. This problem is remedied by opening up RDAdmin and disabling each needed serial port and then re-enabling it. Finally, if anyone is looking for a USB to serial adapter that works with the Appliance, I can recommend this Manhattan model from Amazon, which is currently available for a little over $8: http://www.amazon.com/Manhattan-Serial-Converter- Connects-205146/dp/B0007OWNYA/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid= 1389719503&sr=8-1&keywords=usb+to+serial . Thanks for everyone for trying to help; I'm glad to have this behind me. Ryan
