Well, if your not using OS9 then modifying the device driver is kinda
unnecessary.  :-)  Not sure what you are trying to do, but would think
having more serial connections available would be a plus on either side.

Just look on eBay.  I bought a coupls different ones not knowing
exactly which project were going to need them  Some just run TXD
and RXD to the DB9 but some have the other signals available as
well with just a couple of quick jumpers.

Just getting bak into hardware myself but it looks like it is as
much fun as it used to be.
