Hi Wanted to buy or beg pci serial card .. preferably 2 ports Tnx
I think I may be able to oblige. Let me check tonight in my stash of assorted obsolete cards. I'm pretty sure I have one. I'm not sure if it's PCI or the older bus (eide?)

Apologies. What I thought (in my addled memory) was a serial card - is actually a USB card.
I'll pass the word around my friends though and see if I can find one. We have quite a lot of old hardware collectively.

I've got Serial ports that sit in the card slots but plug onto the nine pin COM pins on the Mobo. If that's any use.

I was sure I had one of those, but I can't find it anywhere now..

I've got a few of those too. One thing to be aware of, there are two common ways they can be wired. I'm not sure that modern mobo's have the pins for it though.
Another option that might work; DSE sell a USB-to-Serial adapter that works very nicely in Linux. I think they're fairly cheap.
