    Is anyone offering additional serial port(s) add-ons for the Amiga?

    	I just recieved the ASDG News letter. It talks about some of
    the products they are working on. One project is a Comm board 
    ( Zorro ). The board will have 4 serial lines and a 68008 that 
    YOU can program to control them. It should be available early June.

Re: .0

I have seen two or three advertisements for additional serial ports, but
with one exception, I don't remember any details.

I believe the Xpander-II (expander 2?) will support a board with additional
serial ports.  The Xpander-II is a small two slot expansion cage that takes
proprietary (not Zorro) cards.  It is sold with one card supplied: a two
meg ram card.  I do not know if the serial card is shipping yet or if it
is vaporware.
