- I am not surprised that a Danford card doesn't work, I am surprised that
- they would admit it. We have tried to use Danford's serial port cards and
- they were supposed to provide us with an EISA extender for a 750, neither
- worked (the EISA extender was never delivered). The problems with the
- serial port card are a simple as 300 baud not working (yes we still need
- 300 baud), Danford's response was something to the effect of (oh, we never
- tested that).
