throw those DMB32 etc. away, you don't need multiport serials
any more :-) A KDB50 ... I just bought one actually for $40 the
pair of T1002 & T1003! I really want to have an RA91 in my VAX's 
"basement", it's like so cool :-)

But I did notice that one can bargain with them. Just make an offer
for the right price, it may work! (Worked for me :-) ... Say, do you
know what special cables are required for the KDB50 setup? I get the
cards now but I'm afraid they won't include any cables :-|.
