Hi,

I was wondering if there's currently any resarch or develeopment
into 'SuperPort' product from Technology Concepts LTD ?
It's a stackable system, 8 serials per layer max of 8 layers
and is controlled by an ISA/EISA/MCI card with a 80C186 20Mhz
processor, 512Kb on-board memory.
The serial's are Cirrus Logic CD1400 chips.

It looks real nice, and someone here is willing to take a look
at writing a driver for it, but it would help if there's 
allready been some investigation in the matter ;-)

Regards,

- Rob.
