How does one get a serial port in a modern PC? I recently built a gMac (my
new name for Hackintoshes--generic Mac), and none of the boards I looked
that that seemed to support the gMac had serial ports. PS-2 ports, yes, but
not serial. Are there cards one can add? This sounds very intriguing and
enticing!
