Want To Buy - Serial PCI Card

[em2ab]

I got a CM11A device that hooks up through a serial port except my computer doesn't have serial. So I'm wondering if anyone has an old PCI card with a serial port on it that they would sell.

usb 2 serial?

The X10 CM11A interface that I'm plugging in is pretty picky and doesn't work too well on the converters. It's an older device compared to the new CM17 but the newer one doesn't have any Linux software for controlling it. I figure someone's got a PCI card collecting dust and I can get it for $5.

With the USB2 Serial Adapters, you need to make sure you use the COM port 1-4, most adapters will use a higher port.

I like to set it to com2 and then plug it into every usb port and configure it for com2. As when you move the adapter, it reloads it. Hah.


I think I have a PCI Serial card here at work, let me check.

I have one as well if you need, but I promised it to someone else, if they don't take it you can have it.

Hooking me up with a D600 and now a PCI card? You are a God.

Thanks, let me know.

I'll pay $5 - $10 for one unless I'm really underestimating the value. I figure serial ports are pretty old technology.

Yup, I have a 2 port Serial Lavasoft PCI Card here.

PM me to arrange pickup :D
